RPGCL issued the tender to “23 organizations that we have signed the MSPA (master sale and purchase agreement) with Petrobangla.”

The tender will close on November 10.

Prior to this tender, RPGCL invited bids on October 31 for two spot LNG cargoes for delivery on December 3-5 and December 7-8. This tender closed on December 3.

RPGCL recently also invited bids for three spot LNG cargoes for delivery in November.

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.

Launched in 2018, the FSRU-based terminal completed its 100th STS transfer offshore Bangladesh in 2021.

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

In September, Summit said the FSRU was ready to resume sendout to the grid in Bangladesh after it sustained damage on May 27 during cyclone Remal.
