First LNG Shipment Since War Began Appears to Exit Hormuz

The first liquefied natural gas shipment since the war in the Middle East began two months ago appears to have traversed the Strait of Hormuz to exit the Persian Gulf.

The Mubaraz — which loaded a cargo from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.’s Das Island facility in the United Arab Emirates around early March — is now passing the southern tip of India, according to ship-tracking data. The tanker had been idling inside the gulf, but stopped sending a signal around March 31, before re-appearing west of India on April 27, the data show.
