How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| JKM | Reduced Qatari delivery capacity tightens available spot LNG supply in Asia and increases the regional gas risk premium. | Up1-5d | Qatar's deliveries were reported near one-third of prewar levels despite ship-to-ship transfers. |
| QGTS.QA | Operational workarounds, longer voyages and constrained export throughput increase costs and reduce effective shipment capacity. | Down1-4w | Qatar was reported to be using older tankers and transferring cargoes outside the Gulf because of Hormuz risk. |
| BDRY | Longer routing and additional ship-to-ship transfers increase demand for LNG and dry-bulk maritime capacity and raise freight-risk premia. | Up1-5d | Cargoes require shuttle voyages through Hormuz and transfers outside the Gulf. |
