The Al Rekayyat, a Qatar/Nakilat owned LNG carrier, is now anchored east of UAE after being struck a couple of days ago. There was a fire in the engine room, and they issued a Mayday thinking the whole thing could blow, which thankfully did not happen. Qatar has done a lot to appease Iran, and still got struck. I think the crews of laden LNG carriers will take a "f@&k this" attitude to transits for a very long time.
