State-run Pakistan LNG Ltd. has invited bids for two spot LNG cargoes, according to company tender notices issued on May 6, marking the second such move in two weeks as flows remain disrupted by the Middle East conflict.
The country plans to import its first cargo of 140,000 cubic meters in the May 12–14 window, followed by another cargo for May 24–26, according to the tender notices. Companies are required to submit bids by May 7.
An LNG tanker, Seapeak Magellan, docked at Pakistan GasPort at the country’s Port Qasim terminal in Karachi, said an official at the LNG terminal on April 30.
This marks Pakistan’s first LNG cargo from Sabine Pass in the United States after a gap of around two months amid Middle East supply disruptions. The ship is scheduled to discharge 3.2 million British thermal units of RLNG, the terminal official said.
On April 23, state-run Pakistan LNG invited bids for three spot LNG cargoes for delivery in late April and early May, marking the first such move since 2023.
The company received four bids from three global LNG suppliers, according to a document from Pakistan LNG dated April 24.
The company accepted a bid for one delivery window, April 27–30, from TotalEnergies Gas Power Ltd. at USD 18.40 per MMBtu, said an official from the Ministry of Energy on April 25, speaking on condition of anonymity.
