Article Summary

SELL
  • Broadstone Net Lease (ASX: BNTL) faces a critical shortage of liquid helium as Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has wiped out a third of global helium supply, leaving no alternative in place for MRI scanners, AI chips, and other medical equipment.
  • The single largest use, by revenue, is healthcare with every MRI scanner in every hospital running on liquid helium, which cools superconducting magnets to minus 268.9 degrees Celsius just above absolute zero.
  • The Ras Laffan facility in Qatar was the world's single largest helium production hub, but its closure combined with the blockade removed approximately 30% of global supply at a stroke, with ships rerouting around Cape of Good Hope adding 10 to 14 days to transit times and around 3,500 nautical miles to each voyage, while liquid helium boils off during additional time at sea, cutting volume arriving at destination.
