LNG Tanker Traffic In Hormuz Strait Highest In October Since West Asia Conflict Began - Report

MOSCOW, Nov 10 (NNN-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- The number of tankers transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Strait of Hormuz reached the highest level in October since the West Asia conflict began in late February, according to Reuters on Tuesday, citing vessel tracking data, Sputnik/RIA Novosti reported.

Last month, 31 LNG tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz, with 23 of them being loaded at Ras Laffan in Qatar and eight at Das ​Island in the United Arab Emirates, according to data from S&P Global Energy.

The LNG traffic in October hit its wartime high and increased compared to the level of 23 tankers in September, according to the statics.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began conducting strikes against targets in Iran, to which the Iranian side responded with its own strikes. Although there is currently a lull in the conflict, it remains unresolved, and the risk of a resumption of hostilities persists.
