RPGCL said in a tender document on Tuesday that the delivery windows are May 22-23, June 5-6, and June 19-20.

The tender will close on April 27.
Before this tender, RGPCL invited bids on April 16 for three spot LNG cargoes with deliveries during May 22-23, June 5-6, and June 12-13.

According to local media reports, Bangladesh approved the purchase of one spot LNG cargo from a unit of Vitol.
Prior to that, the country approved the purchase of two spot LNG cargoes from TotalEnergies and Gunvor.

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