Qatar LNG Vessels Pause Transit Through Bab el-Mandeb Strait

LNG

Ship tracking suggests Qatar has paused LNG shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait according to Bloomberg.

  • At least five Qatar operated LNG vessels heading to the southern end of the Red Sea have been halted since Friday.
  • Three tankers carrying LNG to Europe have paused off the coast of Oman while an empty ship has halted in the Red Sea and another in the Mediterranean Sea near the Suez Canal.
  • The Combined Military Forces, including both the US and UK navies, on Friday advised merchant shipping to stay away from the area prompting numerous vessels to turn away.
  • At least three tanker firms on Friday said they are going to suspend sending their ships via the southern Red Sea due to Houthi rebel attack escalations following US/UK air strikes on rebel positions in Yemen.
