According to a document released on Friday, Pakistan LNG is seeking one 140,000-cbm cargo on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis.
The delivery window is July 27-28.
Moreover, the potential tender winner will deliver the cargo to the FSRU BW Integrity serving Pakistan GasPort’s terminal in Port Qasim, Karachi, or the Energo Elengy facility, which uses the FSRU Exquisite.
The tender closes on July 20 at 2:30 p.m. (PST).
PetroChina International just submitted the lowest bid in a tender to supply Pakistan with one spot LNG shipment next week.
The company offered a price of $20.6999/MMBtu.
The PetroChina bid is the highest price Pakistan LNG would pay for a spot cargo this year.
Last week, BP Singapore submitted the lowest bid in a tender to supply Pakistan with one spot LNG shipment on July 15-16. BP Singapore offered a price of $18.2345/MMBtu.
Earlier this month, a unit of French energy giant TotalEnergies submitted the lowest bid in a tender to supply Pakistan with one spot LNG shipment on July 10-11. TotalEnergies Gas and Power offered a price of $17.3700/MMBtu.
This new tender follows a projectile attack on Nakilat’s Q-Flex LNG carrier Al Rekayyat while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on July 7 and new strikes exchanged between the US and Iran in the last six days.
Pakistan gets most of its supplies under long-term contracts from Qatar.
In May, Pakistan received three LNG cargoes from Qatar via the Strait of Hormuz, the first time since the start of the Middle East conflict.
According to Kpler data, no LNG carriers have transited the Strait of Hormuz since July 11, as the security situation around the strategic waterway continues to deteriorate following Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and subsequent military exchanges between Iran and the US.
