Qatar LNG Tanker Sails for Hormuz as US-Iran Deal Reopens Critical Waterway
A QatarEnergy-chartered LNG tanker, the Mraikh, is sailing towards the Strait of Hormuz after a US-Iran interim agreement reopened the waterway, marking the first such movement in months. The vessel is expected to dock at Pakistan's Port Qasim, potentially easing the country's gas shortage. Qatar aims to restore most of its LNG export capacity within two months, but vessel availability remains a constraint.
