LNG Shipments Increase Through the Strait of Hormuz

Summary

Liquefied natural gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have reached their highest level since February, with 31 tankers recorded in October compared to 27 in September. Much of this cargo originated from Qatar's Ras Laffan hub, which remains under force majeure, while the UAE has restored its LNG exports to pre-war volumes. Despite these increases in loadings at Ras Laffan and Das Island, the region remains affected by ongoing US-Iran tensions and continued disruptions in the waterway, where vessels have been targeted in attacks. Analysts note that while supply flows are rebounding, the market remains tight ahead of the winter season.
