A tanker carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar is attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, which — if successful — would mark the country’s first export out of the region since the Iran war began.
The Al Kharaitiyat, which loaded at the Ras Laffan export plant earlier this month, is currently in the waterway between Oman and Iran, ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg shows. The vessel lists Pakistan as its next destination, according to the data.
