9th LNG shipment crossed Strait of Hormuz
Another LNG shipment from Qatar crossed the Strait of Hormuz aboard the 'Al Daayen' on June 6/7, despite the blockade of the waterway, marking the ninth delivery since. The tanker was loaded at the Ras Laffan export terminal in Qatar at the end of February, stopped transmitting signals on June 5, and was spotted east of Oman on June 8, en route to China with an ETA as of July 7. LNG exporters have instructed crews to switch off their transponders to avoid being tracked. During the first attempt to exit the Strait of Hormuz, the tanker was bound to Tianjin.
Attempt to transit Gulf of Hormuz aborted
The two Qatari-laden LNG carriers 'Al Daayen', bound for Tianjin, and 'Rasheeda' (IMO 9443413), bound for Port Qasim, attempted to exit the Middle East Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, but had to reverse course. Following the aborted crossing, the 'Al Daayen' updated the AIS destination to Pakistan on April 7, 2026, at 09:37 a.m. UTC. The voyages, if successful, would have marked the first LNG shipments to destinations outside the Gulf since the conflict began, reinforcing that LNG exports through the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively stalled despite limited movements within the Gulf.
