en.Wedoany.com Reported - Pakistan LNG has issued a tender seeking to procure a spot LNG cargo of 140,000 cubic meters on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis, with a delivery window set for July 10-11. The successful bidder must deliver the cargo to the FSRU BW Integrity facility at the Karachi Port's Qasim International Container Terminal operated by Pakistan GasPort, or to the Energo Elengy facility using the FSRU Exquisite. The tender deadline is July 33 at 2:30 PM (Pakistan Standard Time).

Earlier this week, BP's Singapore subsidiary submitted the sole bid in a tender seeking to supply a spot LNG cargo to Pakistan for delivery between June 30 and July 4. Pakistan LNG launched that tender on Saturday, also seeking a 140,000-cubic-meter cargo, with BP Singapore quoting a price of $16.7372 per million British thermal units. This follows Pakistan LNG's cancellation of a tender seeking delivery of a cargo between June 21 and 21. Additionally, BP Singapore recently submitted the most competitive bid for a spot LNG cargo scheduled for delivery on June 6-7, at a price of $19.1337 per million British thermal units. Most of Pakistan's LNG supply comes from long-term contracts with Qatar, and it also procures from the spot market when prices are affordable to supply its power plants. In May, Pakistan received three LNG cargoes from Qatar via the Strait of Hormuz, the first such shipments since the Middle East conflict began. Although the United States and Iran have agreed on a framework agreement to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, transit conditions through the strait remain uncertain. Edison, the Italian energy company owned by France's EDF, recently stated that it has received a new force majeure notice from QatarEnergy affecting supplies scheduled for delivery at Italy's Adriatic LNG terminal before early September.
