Svmuu, a maritime traffic website, updated shipping tracking information on the 10th showing that a Qatari LNG carrier successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, entered the Gulf of Oman, and is heading towards Pakistan. It is reported that this is the first Qatari LNG carrier to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in approximately 70 days since the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran.
A track chart indicates that the vessel utilized a new shipping channel recently activated by Iran. On the 9th, the LNG carrier sent position information via its Automatic Identification System (AIS), showing it had entered the Strait of Hormuz, after which it stopped transmitting position signals for an extended period. Updated shipping tracking information on the 10th shows that the vessel has successfully passed through the Strait and entered the Gulf of Oman. (Xinhua News Agency)
