QatarEnergy-controlled LNG tanker exits Hormuz, first in nearly three weeks

SINGAPORE - A ​QatarEnergy-controlled liquefied natural gas tanker exited the Strait of Hormuz overnight, the first such vessel visible on ship-tracking data to leave the waterway since July 11, data from analytics firms showed on Thursday. The Al Areesh tanker, which loaded a cargo ‌at Qatar's Ras Laffan ⁠terminal around ⁠July 4-6, sailed out of the strait overnight on July 29, according to Kpler and LSEG data.

LSEG data shows it ​is currently heading to Port Qasim, Pakistan, with an estimated arrival date of July 31. Its departure marks the ​first time a QatarEnergy-controlled LNG tanker exited the Strait of Hormuz since the Al Rekayyat was struck in early July.
