Kpler data show no liquefied natural gas carriers have transited the Strait of
Hormuz since July 11, marking three consecutive days of zero LNG traffic after
an Iranian attack on merchant vessels raised security risks. The strait is the
sole maritime export route for Qatari LNG to markets outside the Gulf and a key
export corridor for UAE LNG. Shipments had been recovering after a temporary
U.S.-Iran peace accord: Kpler recorded 40 LNG transits in June, up from 8 in
May, 4 in April and zero in March.
