Three liquefied natural gas tankers appear to have crossed the Strait of Hormuz
in recent days as suppliers in Qatar and the UAE sought to resume exports
despite severe disruption in the waterway. The Al Rayyan, carrying Qatari LNG,
was tracked north of Muscat and is heading to China after halting signal
transmissions near Ras Laffan in May, according to Bloomberg ship-tracking data.
Another vessel, the Fuwairit, also resumed transmitting after partially crossing
Hormuz and is now bound for Pakistan. The vessels are linked to Japanese
shipping firms Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha and Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd..
