By Stephen Stapczynski Shipments of liquefied natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz extended a rebound that began in September, as the region’s producers seek to restore supplies to energy-starved customers.
根据彭博社和Kpler汇总的船舶追踪数据，自上周晚些时候以来，至少有三批LNG货物驶离这一关键水道。尽管9月份出港流量创下2月下旬伊朗冲突爆发以来的最高水平，但目前流量仍比战前水平低逾75%。
At least three LNG shipments have exited the key waterway since late last week, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg and Kpler. While outbound traffic in September climbed to the highest level since the Iran conflict began in late February, flows remain more than 75% below pre-war levels.
市场正密切关注经霍尔木兹海峡运输的LNG货流，以判断供应紧张局面是否有所缓解。上月的供应紧张曾将欧洲和亚洲价格推至2022年末以来的最高水平。运输持续恢复可能有助于在北半球冬季到来前缓解价格压力，因为冬季供暖需求通常会大幅上升。
The market is closely watching LNG shipments through Hormuz for signs of relief from a supply crunch that last month pushed prices in Europe and Asia to the highest since late 2022. A sustained recovery could help ease prices just before the Northern Hemisphere winter, when heating demand typically surges.
近期接连发生多起事件，航运风险仍然严峻，货流增长正是在这一背景下出现。英国海事贸易行动办公室（UKMTO）表示，该机构于10月4日收到报告称，霍尔木兹海峡内一艘油轮遭一枚来源不明的弹体击中。
The increase in traffic comes as risks to shipping remain acute following a flurry of incidents in recent days. UK Maritime Trade Operations said it received a report of a tanker being hit by an unknown projectile within Hormuz on Oct 4.
