A Greek-owned liquefied natural gas carrier was involved in an “incident” in the Strait of Hormuz at the end of last week while exiting the waterway, the owner company said in a statement. The vessel is stable, and the crew is safe, Gas Log said, without specifying the nature of the incident.
“Gas Log LNG Services immediately activated their emergency plan, notified all relevant authorities, and is currently assessing the condition of the vessel and assure the safety of our people,” the Greek shipper said.
The Gas Log Shanghai had loaded liquefied gas in Qatar in late July and began its journey out of the Persian Gulf at the end of last week. As of late Sunday, the vessel was detected just outside the Strait of Hormuz, according to ship-tracking data.
