Adnoc’s LNG Tankers Go Dark to Get Gas Shipments Through Hormuz

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. has managed to keep a trickle of liquefied natural gas exports moving through the Strait of Hormuz by concealing tanker locations, as established producers shift tactics to navigate the conflict.

At least two tankers that loaded at Adnoc’s Das Island facility recently went dark to carry shipments out of Hormuz after the war began, according to a Bloomberg News analysis of vessel-tracking data and people with knowledge of the matter. Satellite imagery shows ships continuing to dock at the terminal, even as no tankers broadcast positions near the plant.
