More liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers have resumed transiting the Strait of Hormuz in recent days, signalling a cautious return of commercial shipping through one of the world's most critical energy corridors despite renewed hostilities in the Middle East. Ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG showed that at least five ballast LNG carriers have entered the strategically vital waterway in recent days after traffic slowed following Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and subsequent U.S. retaliatory strikes on Iran.
