Pakistan LNG Limited has issued a fresh international tender seeking two liquefied natural gas cargoes for delivery later this month at Port Qasim as Pakistan moves to strengthen fuel supplies ahead of rising energy demand.

According to the tender notice released on Wednesday, the cargoes will be procured on a Delivered Ex Ship basis. Delivery windows have been set for May 12 to 14 and May 24 to 26, 2026.

Each cargo will carry 140,000 cubic meters of LNG, with a permissible variation of 2 percent. International suppliers have been asked to submit bids by 1400 hours Pakistan Standard Time on May 7, while bid opening will take place the same day at 1430 hours.

The latest move comes as Pakistan continues efforts to secure stable LNG supplies amid changing market conditions and concerns over energy availability. Last month, PLL sought three LNG cargoes for April and May after supply route disruptions and fears of load shedding. That tender attracted four bids from international suppliers for spot purchases.

PLL said bid documents can be obtained through its office or by email request until May 7. The company also noted that it reserves the right to reject any bid before acceptance under public procurement rules.

Earlier, SOCAR expressed readiness to supply LNG to Pakistan under a 2025 framework agreement through SOCAR Trading.

Pakistan LNG Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Government Holdings Private Limited and operates under the Ministry of Energy Petroleum Division.
