State-owned Pakistan LNG issues tender for emergency delivery as U.S.-Iran tensions disrupt Middle Eastern gas shipments.
Pakistan’s state LNG importer has launched an urgent tender for a cargo delivery between June 30 and July 4, citing heightened risks in the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and persistent threats to tanker traffic, which have disrupted gas supplies to the country.
Pakistan faced a severe gas and power crisis earlier this year after Middle Eastern LNG shipments stalled. The current tender reflects ongoing vulnerability in its energy supply chain, with offers due by June 29.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but the procurement highlights regional energy security concerns amid geopolitical instability.
