September LNG Shipments Through Strait of Hormuz Reach Highest Since US-Iran 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 mainly from Qatar and the UAE. Despite increased transit, flows remain about 80% below pre-war levels. Analysts note ongoing security concerns and potential disruptions, while the head of Japan's largest LNG buyer expects continued supply challenges, contributing to higher global LNG prices and market tensions between Europe and Asia.
