Qatari, UAE LNG cargoes transferred via ship-to-ship outside Strait of Hormuz

Three LNG cargoes loaded in Qatar and the UAE have been transshipped between ships outside the Strait of Hormuz for delivery to India and Japan, per ship-tracking firms. The use of offshore transfers suggests heightened operational caution around the chokepoint, which can affect near-term LNG logistics and freight expectations. Likely a moderate signal for regional gas supply flows rather than a broad market shock.
