Qatar has suspended supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Red Sea following an attack by the US and its Houthi allies on Yemen. Bloomberg reported this.

At least five Qatari LNG tankers are known to have been on their way through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but stopped on January 12.

Qatar remains one of the few gas suppliers that continues to use this route to deliver fuel to Europe, and the decision to suspend the passage of ships indicates a significant increase in risks, which could lead to delays in LNG supplies to Europe, but are unlikely to lead to fuel shortages due to the availability of large reserves, low industrial demand and relatively warm winters.

As you know, Qatar is one of the largest exporters of LNG in the world. The country is second only to the United States in terms of LNG supplies to the European market. By 2023, Qatar will account for 13% of Western Europe’s liquefied natural gas consumption.

Let’s recall that on the night of January 12, military aircraft and ships of the United States and Great Britain carried out the first attacks on Houthi military targets in Yemen in response to attacks on merchant ship in the Red Sea. The strikes reportedly involved more than 100 precision-guided missiles. The media reported new attacks on Houthi positions on the night of January 13.
