LNG tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz reached its highest monthly level in October since the US-Israel war on Iran began in February, with 31 loaded ships passing through the strategic waterway, up from 23 in September, according to S&P Global Energy. Of these, 23 left the Ras Lafan facility in Qatar and eight were loaded in the United Arab Emirates' Das Island. Qatar's loadings in October reached 35 cargoes, exceeding 2.7 million tonnes, while two tankers out of Ras Laffan transferred their cargoes to other vessels near the Oman Suhar port for delivery to South Korea and Pakistan. UAE exports from Das Island remained steady at seven loadings for the second consecutive month.
