Greek-Owned LNG Ship Navigates Hazardous Waters After Incident in Strait of Hormuz

A Greek-owned liquefied natural gas carrier, Gas Log Shanghai, safely exited the Strait of Hormuz after an incident while leaving the waterway.

The owner company, Gas Log, said in a statement that the vessel is stable and the crew is safe. However, they did not specify the nature of the incident.

Gas Log activated their emergency plan, notified relevant authorities, and is currently assessing the condition of the vessel to ensure the safety of its people.

The Gas Log Shanghai had loaded liquefied gas in Qatar in late July and began its journey out of the Persian Gulf at the end of last week. It was detected just outside the Strait of Hormuz as of late Sunday, according to ship-tracking data.
