LNG Tanker Heads Toward Hormuz as US-Iran Pact Goes Into Effect A liquefied natural gas tanker that loaded in Qatar is nearing the Strait of Hormuz, a hint that traffic may increase after an interim US-Iran peace deal went into effect. The Mraikh, which picked up a shipment earlier this month, is heading toward the chokepoint after being stuck in the Persian Gulf since February, according to ship-tracking data. The vessel, which is chartered by QatarEnergy, is signaling Pakistan’s Port Qasim as its next location.
