The Zhitong Finance App learned that although the game between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping waterway, continues, suppliers are still trying to ensure that fuel can continue to be shipped from within the Persian Gulf to the global market. According to reports, two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers appear to be carrying out ship-to-ship transfers outside the Strait of Hormuz. Images taken by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite last Saturday showed the Enugu LNG carrier docked near the coastal city of Sohar (Sohar) in the Gulf of Oman and anchored parallel to another ship. This location generally matches the characteristics of ship-to-ship operations, meaning that the two ships may be in the process of transferring cargo.
