September LNG Shipments Through Strait of Hormuz Reach Highest Level Since Conflict Began
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments through the Strait of Hormuz rose in September to their highest monthly level since the US-Iran conflict began, with 19 to 21 cargoes reported by different analytics firms. Most shipments originated from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Despite this increase, overall transit remains below pre-war levels due to ongoing disruptions and extended force majeure by Qatar. Experts warn of continued supply challenges and rising LNG prices, which may intensify competition among Asian and European buyers this winter, affecting countries like India.
