Qatar LNG Tanker Exits Strait of Hormuz After Three-Week Absence

A Qatar Energy-controlled liquefied natural gas tanker has exited the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in three weeks, according to ship-tracking data. The Al Areesh tanker, which loaded a cargo at Qatar's Ras Laffan terminal around July 4-6, sailed out of the strait overnight on July 29.

The vessel is currently heading to Port Qasim in Pakistan, with an estimated arrival date of July 31. This marks the first time a Qatar Energy-controlled LNG tanker exited the Strait of Hormuz since the Al Rekayyat was struck in early July.
