Second Qatari tanker crossing Strait of Hormuz A second Qatari liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker, the Mihzem, is traversing the Strait of Hormuz, following the successful passage of a similar cargo this weekend. These cargoes are headed to Pakistan, which has reportedly obtained an arrangement with Iran to secure the safe passage of LNG shipments. Qatar is selling LNG to Pakistan, a mediator in the ongoing conflict, through a government-to-government agreement, reported Reuters, and the passage was approved by Iran - a move seen to foster confidence with both Qatar and Pakistan.
Two more tankers carrying Qatari LNG are set to cross the Strait and reach Pakistan in the coming days, according to Reuters.
