September LNG shipments via Hormuz hit highest since start of US-Iran war

In September, 19 liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes moved through the Strait of Hormuz, the most since the US-Iran war began on February 28. Thirteen came from Qatar and six from the United Arab Emirates, S&P Global Energy said. Before the war, this waterway carried about a fifth of global crude oil and LNG. Watch your fuel and freight costs.
