Two tankers, Al Daayen and Rasheeda, loaded with liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar, are making their way towards the Strait of Hormuz, potentially marking the first LNG export since the conflict escalated. The vessels, which loaded LNG in late February, are heading eastward towards Oman, as the Strait has been largely closed to shipping due to the ongoing war. This closure has severely impacted global energy supplies, cutting off about 20% of the world's LNG. Despite recent attempts, no loaded LNG tankers have successfully passed through Hormuz since the US and Israel began strikes on Iran. The situation is complicated by electronic interference and the intentional disabling of transponders by vessels navigating risky waters. Qatar, which supplied nearly a fifth of the world's LNG last year, has faced challenges as its Ras Laffan export plant remains shut down due to Iranian attacks. The potential passage of these tankers could help Qatar resume its exports, alleviating some of the energy supply disruptions caused by the conflict.
