An empty LNG carrier attempts to enter the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz.

If successful, this would be the first time during the Middle East energy crisis. According to vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, the two tankers owned by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), "Al Hamra" and "Mraweh," are passing by Oman and heading toward the eastern side of the strait. These movements were observed before Iran announced the opening of the strait for commercial passage last Friday.
