ISLAMABAD: State-owned Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has invited bids from reputed international firms for the supply of two liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes on a Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis at Port Qasim, Karachi.
The first cargo is scheduled for delivery during December 14-16, 2026, while the second cargo is scheduled for delivery during January 9-11, 2027.
A tender floated in international media states that PLL is seeking shipment of cargoes to meet the country’s gas requirements.
The development came days after PLL considered and declined two spot LNG cargo bid offers scheduled for delivery in December 2026 and January 2027.
PLL, which is owned by the Government of Pakistan, has the mandate to procure LNG to meet the country’s gas requirements.
Pakistan has intensified efforts to secure discounted liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under existing long-term contracts as winter demand looms and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz threaten global energy supply chains.
