QatarEnergy →supply upLNG trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz
QatarEnergy has at least 12 ballast LNG carriers waiting near Qatar, and Bloomberg says the fleet represents about 2% of global LNG tanker carrying capacity, indicating a near-term increase in LNG shipping availability and throughput.
“At least 12 ballast LNG carriers owned or chartered by QatarEnergy are waiting in waters near the country, according to a Bloomberg News analysis of satellite images and ship-tracking data. Together, the vessels can hold about 1.1 million tons of LNG, or roughly 2% of the carrying capacity of the entire global tanker fleet.”

Natural gas (home) →supply upLNG peak-shaving and import facilities
Qatar’s added LNG tanker capacity eases a near-term shipping bottleneck, which can make LNG imports more available for peak-shaving and import facilities feeding home gas supply.
