One cargo reached India’s west coast on Thursday. QatarEnergy did not answer Bloomberg.

Five of those ships showed no signal while they crossed. Bloomberg says jamming is common there. Dark AIS is not a sinking.

Traffic is still far below the pre-war line in that piece — about three LNG shipments a day. The same piece: Qatar largely halted Hormuz exports after one of its ships was attacked in early July. Inside the Gulf it has been loading empties and sending some fuel to Kuwait to keep storage and the plant off the floor.

That count is ship-tracking. It is not a QatarEnergy or Nakilat product. JMIC Update 099, 24 September, does not give an LNG transit number and names no Qatari gas carrier.

Named hulls on other paper

Arab News Pakistan: Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik said a Qatar cargo had crossed Hormuz for Karachi. Port Qasim official and AIS: Bermuda-flagged Shandong Redwood, 283 m, due Port Qasim 23 September. Left Ras Laffan 28 June. Anchored Al Hamriyah from 7 September, then the last leg. Publish date on that piece is 21 September. Movement date and publish date stay unmerged.

Bloomberg, 7 September: Al Marrouna, loaded in Qatar the month before, nearing Hormuz, signalling Port Qasim. The transit itself is not on that clip.

Zawya, Reuters copy of Kpler: Al Daayen and Al Samriya last seen inside the strait 13 and 14 September, later outside. Cargoes from Ras Laffan. Marigold LNG signalling Dabhol after Das Island. Vortexa: Al Rayyan in a dark STS off Oman. Kpler: that STS with Al Mashabiyyah on 13 September. No IMO in this pack for any of those names.

What the official paper actually says

JMIC 099: three attacks in the period (UKMTO 140-26, 141-26, 142-26). One fatality confirmed. Commercial traffic through Hormuz still reduced against the 2025 baseline. NCAGS: about 30 vessel transits a day over 96 hours, against a 2025 average near 138. 21 September: LPG tanker outbound in Omani TTW off Musandam, name withheld. 23 September: bulk carrier CAPE DAO, one fatality. No LNG hull on that page.

Minister Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, 21 September: LNG cannot move by pipe. Qatar will not use pipes as the alternative. Ready to resume normal operations within a few weeks of Hormuz reopening. That sentence is not a confirmation of this week’s four-out-two-in count.

The operational point is the same as August: molecules still have to take the water. A tracking bounce is not a reopened strait.

Established

• Bloomberg 24 Sep tracking: ≥4 laden out, ≥2 in, in the last week on that set; QatarEnergy silent.
• JMIC 099: three attacks; traffic reduced; no LNG named.
• Al-Kaabi 21 Sep: no pipe substitute; resume after reopening.

Not established

• Official confirmation of the Bloomberg count.
• IMOs for the named hulls.
• That dark AIS on the crossing is a casualty.
• That Al-Kaabi’s “resume after reopening” and the tracking bounce are the same decision.
