Despite the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran in the Middle East, UAE and Qatar are maintaining oil and gas supplies via the Persian Gulf using a strategy called 'Dark Transit'. According to a Bloomberg report, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Qatar are switching off ship transponders while passing through the sensitive Strait of Hormuz to avoid real-time tracking. This unconventional method helps sustain export flows amidst geopolitical risks and patrols by the Iranian and US navies. Analysts suggest this technique reflects both strategic and logistical necessities to keep energy exports moving.
