The company has activated its emergency plan, informed relevant authorities, and is currently evaluating the condition of the vessel.\n\nThe LNG carrier had loaded gas in Qatar in late July and commenced its journey out of the Persian Gulf at the end of the previous week. As of late Sunday, the ship was located just outside the Strait of Hormuz, according to ship-tracking data reported by Reuters.

These occurrences hint at the ongoing risks associated with traversing the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nDespite these recent events, QatarEnergy, an LNG exporter, had managed to successfully send an LNG carrier through the chokepoint three weeks prior.

In June, QatarEnergy had stated that it could resume 50% of its production at the facility within a month.",
