Second Qatari LNG tanker heads through Hormuz to Pakistan as Iran war continues, data shows
The voyage would be only the second successful Qatari LNG crossing since the war began, as Pakistan seeks extra cargoes to ease a gas shortage.
- On Monday, the Qatari LNG tanker Mihzem entered the Strait of Hormuz heading to Port Qasim, Pakistan, with arrival expected tomorrow, May 12, according to LSEG shipping data.
- Iran agreed to allow limited tanker passage following negotiations with Pakistan to address urgent domestic gas shortages under a government-to-government deal with Qatar.
- On Sunday, the LNG tanker Al Kharaitiyat successfully crossed the strait via an Iranian-approved northern route, marking the first passage under this arrangement; Mihzem represents the second.
- Iranian attacks disabled 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity, keeping global supplies stranded and causing shortages across Asia; these shipments restore Pakistan's supply toward normal.
- Vessels navigate the waterway on a case-by-case basis, with shipping data showing tankers occasionally adjust transponders or routes to reflect heightened regional risks and operational sensitivities.
