KARACHI: State-owned Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has invited bids from reputed international suppliers for the delivery of two liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes at Port Qasim, Karachi, on a Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis.
According to the international tender, the first cargo is scheduled to arrive between December 14 and 16, 2026, while the second is due between January 9 and 11, 2027.
PLL said the procurement was aimed at meeting the country’s gas requirements.
The fresh tender comes days after the state-owned company considered and rejected two spot LNG cargo offers for delivery in December 2026 and January 2027.
PLL, wholly owned by the Government of Pakistan, is mandated to procure LNG to meet the country’s gas demand.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has stepped up efforts to secure LNG supplies from Qatar at discounted rates under existing long-term agreements as winter demand approaches and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pose risks to global energy supply chains.
