Qatar LNG cargo loadings 10-day moving average 13-15 vessels... half of pre-war level

Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG loadings rose to a 10-day moving average of 13–15 vessels in November, up from roughly 11 in October but still about half pre-war levels, according to Bloomberg data compiled with Kpler and Copernicus. The figure counts shipments rather than cargo volumes, so it does not directly indicate equivalent growth in LNG arriving in Europe or Asia. Strait of Hormuz transit counts are a separate metric from port loadings. The recovery matters for global gas supply as Qatar remains a pivotal LNG exporter, and the next signal to watch is whether the loading pace continues climbing toward pre-war levels and translates into higher delivered volumes.
