To meet its winter needs, Pakistan has issued a fresh tender to procure liquefied natural gas (LNG) spot cargoes after failing to secure supplies from the global market for over a year.
On Wednesday, Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL), a state-owned company, said it was seeking bids from international suppliers for two LNG cargoes of 140,000 cubic meters each, to be delivered in December at Port Qasim in Karachi.
The delivery windows are December 7-8 and December 13-14, according to the tender document.
PLL has the mandate to procure LNG on behalf of the federal government to meet the country’s gas requirements through two LNG import terminals with exclusive arrangements for public sector distribution.
