Kpler: Qatar-Energy LNG tanker latest to reverse course near Hormuz
The QatarEnergy-chartered LNG tanker Umm Slal reversed course near the Strait of Hormuz, following a similar action by Gaslog Shanghai. The reversals coincide with Iran's IRGC warnings about unauthorized shipping routes and U.S. strikes on Iran in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship. Kpler notes this adds uncertainty to LNG shipping in the Gulf.
