Shipment analytics firm Kpler has estimated that 21 cargoes managed to squeeze last month through the chokepoint, which handled one fifth of global LNG supply before the war. This week, three Qatari LNG cargoes from Ras Laffan reappeared outside the Strait of Hormuz, according to vessel-tracking data by LSEG and Kpler. In…
