Qatar sends empty LNG ships back toward Gulf amid signs exports could resume

Several LNG tankers associated with Qatar are currently en route to the Persian Gulf, hinting at a potential restart of shipments through the critical Strait of Hormuz. The intensifying conflict between the US and Iran is complicating shipping dynamics in the region, prompting Asian and European buyers to explore other supply options as prices remain high. Empty tankers are being arranged around the waterway in light of the situation's volatility.
