A third Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker is transiting the Strait of Hormuz and heading to China, ship-tracking data shows according to Reuters, as a Qatari negotiating team arrives in Tehran to try to help secure a deal to end the war with Iran.
As shipments through the waterway continue to be erratic, this third transit of a Qatari LNG tanker is taking place nearly two weeks after a first such cargo passed through the strait under a Pakistan-Iran arrangement.
The vessel, Al Sahla, with a capacity of 211,842 cubic metres, left Ras Laffan and is expected to arrive at China’s Tianjin LNG terminal on June 14, according to LSEG shipping data.
