LNG transport volumes through Hormuz are the highest since the conflict began.
Exports of liquefied natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz in October reached their highest level since February, with 31 tankers, compared to 27 in September, according to Kepler data.
Most of this cargo was loaded from the Qatari center of Ras Laffan, although force majeure was still in effect there, which was extended until the end of the year. Despite the increase in shipment volumes, total exports from Qatar are far from pre-war levels. In February, total LNG exports from Qatar approached 6.2 million tons, and in October it stood at 2.7 million tons.
The UAE managed to restore LNG exports to pre-war levels. In October, shipments from Das Island reached seven units, unchanged from September.
