Second Qatari LNG tanker to cross Strait of Hormuz

A second Qatari LNG tanker is transiting the ⁠Strait of Hormuz days after the first such cargo crossed under an arrangement involving Iran and Pakistan, according to LSEG shipping data seen by the Reuters. According to the data, the Mihzem vessel, with a capacity of 174,000 cubic metres, left Qatar’s Ras Laffan and is heading northeast toward Port Qasim in Pakistan, where it is expected to arrive tomorrow. This comes after an LNG tanker, Al Kharaitiyat, started crossing the waterway via the Iranian-approved northern route, and on Sunday, it managed to cross the strait.
