Qatar, one of the world’s biggest liquefied natural gas exporters, is delaying some shipments to Europe as the crisis in the Red Sea forces longer travel times.

The Middle East country informed some European buyers of delays and rescheduled shipments, according to traders with knowledge of the matter. It’s reshuffling global supply to meet contractual obligations, diverting deliveries from elsewhere and swapping for available cargoes near Europe, the traders said.
