According to a report from CLS (Cailianshe) on September 24, Qatar has significantly increased the number of liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, reaching the highest level in over two months. In the past week, at least two fully loaded LNG vessels have exited the strait, while at least two others have entered the Persian Gulf in the opposite direction. One of the outbound vessels is heading to the west coast of India. Ship tracking data indicates this is the most sustained recovery in Qatari LNG shipments since early July. Although current shipment volumes remain well below the pre-conflict level of about three vessels per day, natural gas prices in Europe and Asia have risen to their highest levels since 2022 over the past few weeks due to rising winter demand.

This marks the most sustained recovery in Qatari LNG shipments since early July. However, current transit volumes remain well below the pre-war average of approximately three vessels per day.
In recent weeks, natural gas prices in Europe and Asia have climbed to their highest levels since 2022, driven by rising winter demand.
