Kpler: Qatar-Energy LNG tanker latest to reverse course near Hormuz The QatarEnergy-chartered Umm Slal has become the latest LNG tanker to reverse course near the Strait of Hormuz, following a similar move by Gaslog Shanghai on Thursday, adding "uncertainty to LNG shipping through the Gulf", ship-tracking firm Kpler has said. The firm wrote on X: “The reversals coincided with warnings from Iran’s IRGC that vessels must avoid unauthorised routes and use only corridors designated by Tehran. ” Kpler’s report came out before US strikes on Iran that Washington said were carried out in response to an Iranian drone attack on the Ever Lovely cargo ship.
