Suppliers are requested to submit offers by Friday, the notice said.\nPakistan, which procured nearly all of its LNG from Qatar last year, hasn’t received a shipment since early-March, shortly after the US and Israel began strikes on Iran and Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar was also forced to shut the world’s largest LNG export facility due to an Iranian attacks and cancel deliveries to its customers.\nThe gas shortage has triggered widespread power outages across Pakistan, posing a significant threat to the country’s economic growth. The move to buy spot cargoes come as LNG supplies remain trapped in the Persian Gulf. Hormuz — a vital waterway for about a fifth of global LNG supply — has effectively been shut to traffic of the fuel since the war began.\nFour LNG tankers loaded in Qatar over a month ago and currently in the Gulf are signalling Pakistan as their next destination, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. Three of the vessels approached the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend before turning back, and are now once again near Qatari waters, the data shows.\nUploaded by Liza Shireen Koshy","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2629863548","isCrawlerRequest":true}
