Hormuz Strait Passage Still Blocked, Two Qatar LNG Vessels Make U-Turn
April 6 – Two Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers have abandoned attempts to exit the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, vessel tracking data indicates.
The Al Daayen and Rasheeda loaded LNG at Qatar’s export facilities in late February, then headed east toward waters near Oman in an apparent bid to enter the strait before turning back.
No LNG tankers have transited the Strait of Hormuz since a U.S. airstrike on Iran in late February, per Kpler vessel data. Qatar has delivered two LNG shipments to Kuwait in recent weeks; the supplies likely came from onshore storage, avoiding the need to pass through the strait.
Vessel tracking in the Persian Gulf remains uncertain due to potential electronic interference or AIS blackouts for ships in high-risk areas, according to Jinse.
