Report first recorded Nov 2, 12:55
Pakistan negotiated with Iran to secure safe passage for the Qatar-owned LNG carrier Al Mayeda before it was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The Marshall Islands-flagged vessel came under fire while sailing toward the waterway loaded with LNG from Qatar. The ship turned back into the Persian Gulf after the incident. Qatar condemned the attack, stating it reserves the right to protect its assets. All 25 crew members, including six Indians, were reported safe. The incident highlights ongoing risks for vessels navigating the Hormuz waterway and may force Pakistan to turn to spot LNG markets at more than triple pre-war prices.
