QatarEnergy buys 33 US LNG cargoes to offset Hormuz disruption
Al Areesh is bound for Pakistan as more than a dozen tankers idle near Ras Laffan, Bloomberg ship-tracking data shows.
- Overnight on July 29, the QatarEnergy-controlled LNG tanker Al Areesh exited the Strait of Hormuz, bound for Port Qasim, Pakistan, marking the first such departure visible on ship-tracking data since July 11.
- The departure follows the early July strike on the Al Rekayyat, which halted QatarEnergy-controlled LNG transits; the Al Hamra was the last tanker to exit on July 11 before this three-week pause.
- Meanwhile, the ADNOC Gas-controlled Mraweh LNG tanker reappeared inside the strait on Thursday after last being detected outside on July 24, while 12 commodity ships transited the waterway on Wednesday with six entering and six exiting.
- Separately, visible crude loadings from the Red Sea port of Yanbu fell by at least 30% last week after Yemen's Houthis declared a blockade on Saudi Arabia, disrupting regional energy flows.
- Vortexa analyst George Morris noted that cargoes loaded at Yanbu accounted for "around 15% of Asia's seaborne crude/condensate imports in June," while unreported 'dark' tanker activity complicates full assessment of supply chain disruptions.
