Pakistan is about to receive much-needed liquefied natural gas. A ship carrying Qatari gas has already passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and another cargo ship will follow. According to ship tracking data, the “Al Maruna” sailed through this waterway earlier this week and is expected to arrive in Pakistan on Thursday. According to familiar traders, another carrier full of Qatar's liquefied natural gas is expected to cross the strait in the next few days and also sail to this South Asian country. This progress is likely to mean that Pakistan, which previously mediated peace negotiations between the US and Iran, will not need to buy large quantities of liquefied natural gas in the spot market. Spot prices have now soared to their highest level since late 2022. Previously, the Strait of Hormuz had almost been cut off, causing the gas supply to Qatar, its largest supplier, to be interrupted, and the Pakistani government has always faced the problem of alternating power outages.
