Qatar revives LNG exports via old tankers after Hormuz attack halts shipments

Qatar has resumed limited LNG shipments using older tankers and new tactics after a projectile attack on one of its vessels outside the Strait of Hormuz halted exports by late August. The move signals a shift in operational posture to maintain deliveries amid Gulf instability, though the sustainability and security of this workaround remain uncertain. This matters because Qatar is a critical LNG supplier, and any sustained disruption would tighten global gas markets.
