According to Euronews, liquefied natural gas exporters are actively exploring ways around the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. Three Gulf cargoes have recently been moved using ship-to-ship transfers as part of these testing efforts.

The alternative transport methods come as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates continue to experience export volumes that are far below pre-war levels, six months after the blockade began.
