QatarEnergy-Controlled LNG Tanker Exits Hormuz After Three-Week Drought

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

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