State-owned Pakistan LNG issues emergency tender for mid-July delivery following Strait of Hormuz tensions disrupting Qatari supply.
Pakistan has launched a spot tender to secure an LNG cargo for July 15-16 delivery after a Qatari shipment was canceled due to renewed hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows the cancellation of a cargo originally scheduled to arrive later this month, according to traders familiar with the matter.
The country relies heavily on LNG imports, with Qatar historically supplying nearly all its cargoes. Recent geopolitical tensions have disrupted supply chains, forcing Pakistan to turn to the spot market for urgent replacements.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but the tender underscores vulnerabilities in Pakistan’s energy security amid regional instability.
