The interested parties have been given four days (November 20-24) to show their interest for one cargo on a delivered-ex-ship (DES) basis to Port Qasim in Karachi in January.

The tender is exempted from response time and bid validity time under the PPRA rule.

In the past, the government usually arranged 12 cargoes each month in the winter season. However, the Russia-Ukraine war and the advance procurement of LNG from international companies by the EU countries raised the price of imported LNG.

The country is already facing an estimated gas shortfall of 360 mmcfd in December 2023 and projected to escalate to 470 mmcfd in January 2024.A distressed LNG cargo from SOCAR, a state-owned company of Azerbaijan, may be available in January.

In November 2023, the average price of RLNG to the consumers has been determined at $13.4 per mmbtu for SNGPL and $14.0337 for SSGC consumers.
