ADNOC Continues Das Island LNG Loadings Amid Regional Tensions
Tanker activity at the UAE export terminal carries on with vessels operating transponders in dark mode following recent military strikes.
State-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company is maintaining liquefied natural gas loading operations in the Persian Gulf, even as military friction between the United States and Iran intensifies across the region.
Satellite imagery confirmed that export activity has not halted at UAE energy infrastructure, showing steady vessel movements in Persian Gulf waters despite elevated security concerns.
Observations from September 2 identified a gas carrier berthed at ADNOC's Das Island terminal for cargo operations, while another vessel was tracked waiting in the adjacent waters.
Both tankers conducted operations in dark mode, having switched off their Automatic Identification System transponders to obscure their locations and evade detection while navigating the loading zones.
