Pakistan secures second Qatari LNG shipment through Strait of Hormuz after talks with Iran
Bloomberg reported on Monday that Pakistan negotiated safe passage for a liquefied natural gas tanker from Qatar through the Strait of Hormuz.
Tanker arrival timeline confirmed
The vessel loaded its cargo at Qatar's Ras Laffan facility in late June. Ship-tracking data indicates the tanker crossed the strait over the weekend and is expected to reach Pakistan's import facility by Tuesday.
Government negotiation process details
Bloomberg cited people with knowledge of the matter stating that government officials handled the passage negotiations. This successful delivery marks the second Qatari shipment this month after the earlier arrival of the Al Marrouna at Port Qasim.
Market price context provided
Officials prefer this delivery to avoid purchasing expensive shipments from the spot market. Spot prices have recently spiked to their highest level since 2022 due to geopolitical disruptions in the region.
