September LNG transit through the Strait of Hormuz climbed to 21 cargoes, signaling a modest recovery in regional supply flows even as volumes trail historical averages.
Cheniere Energy and the broader LNG market are impacted by the increased throughput of 21 cargoes through the Strait of Hormuz in September. While this represents the highest volume since the onset of the Iran war, the continued shortfall relative to pre-war levels suggests that global supply chains remain vulnerable to geopolitical bottlenecks in this critical chokepoint.
Approximately 21 cargoes were estimated to have exited the Strait, marking the highest monthly volume since the start of the war.
The Strait is a critical chokepoint that historically handled one-fifth of the total global LNG supply.
LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz reached 21 cargoes in September, marking the highest volume since the onset of the regional conflict. Despite this recovery, current transit levels remain significantly below pre-war benchmarks for the critical global energy chokepoint.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint that historically handled approximately one-fifth of the world's total liquefied natural gas supply.
