QatarEnergy has stopped plans to quickly raise output at Ras Laffan, the world’s largest LNG facility, after Tuesday’s attack on one of its tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Saad Al-Kaabi ordered operations kept at a minimum because the attack renewed fears that passage through the waterway remains too risky for LNG shipments.
The company is also cutting the number of vessels scheduled to dock at the plant in coming days, tightening activity at the export hub for safety reasons.
The move underscores how a single attack in Hormuz can disrupt expansion plans at a critical global gas supplier by threatening transit through a key shipping chokepoint.
