September LNG shipments through Hormuz reach highest level since US‑Iran war began
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Nineteen LNG cargoes transited the Strait of Hormuz in September, with thirteen originating from Qatar and six from the United Arab Emirates, according to Kpler data. This volume represents the highest number of LNG shipments through the strait since the US‑Israeli war on Iran began, and a total of 21 LNG cargoes exited the waterway during the month.
- The increase was driven by accelerated transits in the second half of September, suggesting a rebound in regional LNG flow after earlier disruptions. Analysts note that if the current pace continues, October could see LNG movements rise to about a quarter of the levels recorded before the conflict.
- Should the trend persist, the Strait of Hormuz could handle roughly 25% of pre‑war LNG volumes by the end of October.
