Qatar LNG carrier passes through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in about 70 days

According to shipping tracking data updated on the 10th by a maritime traffic website, a Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier successfully passed through the Strait of Hormuz, entered the Gulf of Oman, and is heading towards Pakistan. This marks the first Qatari LNG carrier to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in approximately 70 days since the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran.

The navigation track map indicates that the vessel utilized a new shipping channel recently opened by Iran. The LNG carrier sent location information via its Automatic Identification System (AIS) on the 9th, showing it had entered the Strait of Hormuz, after which it stopped broadcasting its position for an extended period. Shipping tracking data updated on the 10th confirmed that the ship had successfully passed through the strait and entered the Gulf of Oman. (Xinhua News Agency)
