QatarEnergy LNG Tanker Exits Strait of Hormuz After Nearly Three Weeks
A QatarEnergy-controlled LNG tanker, the Al Areesh, exited the Strait of Hormuz on July 29, marking the first such transit since July 11. The tanker, loaded at Qatar's Ras Laffan terminal, is en route to Port Qasim, Pakistan. This follows a period of reduced LNG tanker movements after the Al Rekayyat was struck earlier in July. Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz increased on July 29, while transit through the Bab el-Mandeb strait slowed. QatarEnergy and ADNOC did not comment outside business hours.
