Assessment

Medium confidence: 2/2 signals corroborated across 2 independent sources

LNG tanker transits through the Strait of Hormuz have resumed, with at least two confirmed transits and two additional ship-to-ship transfers off Oman this week. This indicates an easing of the prior near-total halt in LNG flows from Qatar and UAE, though volumes remain below pre-disruption levels. The situation is assessed as fluid with medium confidence.

Why it matters: Resumption of LNG flows through Hormuz is critical for global energy supply stability and regional economic interests.
