Pakistan LNG Limited has issued a fresh tender seeking two liquefied natural gas cargoes from international suppliers for delivery later this month at Port Qasim, Karachi.
According to the tender notice released on Wednesday, the cargoes will be procured on a Delivered Ex Ship basis, with delivery windows scheduled for May 12 to 14 and May 24 to 26, 2026.
Each cargo will carry a volume of 140,000 cubic meters, with a permissible variation of 2 percent. Suppliers have been asked to submit bids by 1400 hours PST on May 7, while bid opening will take place the same day at 1430 hours PST.
The latest tender comes as Pakistan continues efforts to secure LNG supplies amid changing market conditions and concerns over energy availability. Last month, PLL sought three LNG cargoes for April and May following disruptions in supply routes and load shedding concerns. The tender attracted four bids from international suppliers for spot cargo purchases.
PLL said bid documents could be obtained through its office or by email request until May 7, 2026. The company also noted that it reserves the right to reject bids before acceptance in accordance with public procurement rules.
Earlier, Azerbaijan’s state energy company SOCAR also expressed readiness to supply LNG to Pakistan under a 2025 framework agreement that allows expedited procurement through SOCAR Trading.
Pakistan LNG Limited, commonly known as PLL, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Government Holdings Private Limited and operates under the Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division. The state owned company is responsible for procuring LNG from international markets to meet Pakistan’s gas requirements.
