Bangladesh’s RPGCL launches spot LNG cargo tender

RPGCL said in a tender document that the delivery windows are September 10-11, October 8-9, and October 19-20.

The firm issued the tender to the 23 organizations that have signed the MSPA (master sale and purchase agreement) with Petrobangla.

The tender closes on August 10.

Before this tender, RGPCL invited bids on July 30 for two spot LNG shipments with deliveries during September 10-11 and September 22-23.

This is now the third time that RPGCL invited offers for the September 10-11 delivery.

Local media reports suggest that Bangladesh approved the purchase of one spot LNG cargo this week.

The reports claim that Petrobangla will buy the LNG cargo from Aramco Trading Singapore for $12.289/MMBtu.

Bangladesh currently imports LNG via two FSRU-based facilities, both of which feature Excelerate Energy’s FSRUs.

The 138,000-cbm FSRU Excellence serves Bangladesh’s first LNG import facility, Moheshkhali Floating LNG or MLNG, operated by Petrobangla.

Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Summit LNG serves as the second LNG import facility operated by Summit.
