ISLAMABAD, October 30, 2026 — Pakistan has received its third liquefied natural gas cargo of October, providing additional supply to the country’s gas system as authorities prepare for higher winter demand amid continued regional energy-market tensions.
The vessel Shandong Redwood arrived from Qatar on October 28 and berthed at the Engro Elengy LNG terminal.
The shipment was delivered at a price linked to 13.37 percent of Brent crude oil, according to reporting on the cargo’s arrival.
The vessel berthed alongside the floating storage and regasification unit Exquisite, operated as part of Engro Elengy Terminal Limited’s LNG infrastructure.
At the terminal, imported liquefied natural gas is converted back into gaseous form before being supplied to the domestic gas network.
The latest delivery follows two other LNG shipments received earlier this month.
The first vessel, Al-Areesh, arrived on October 13. A second shipment aboard Ejnan reached Pakistan on October 21 and berthed at the Pakistan GasPort Limited terminal for regasification.
The arrival of the third cargo comes as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to create uncertainty for regional energy shipments.
Reports on the delivery said Iranian officials had assisted with arrangements for the latest shipment amid the prevailing regional situation.
Pakistan relies on imported LNG as part of its gas supply arrangements, making the timing and reliability of shipments important during periods of higher consumption.
Winter typically brings increased demand for gas, placing additional pressure on available supplies.
The October deliveries have added to the country’s imported gas availability, although future supply conditions will also depend on scheduled cargo arrivals and developments in international energy markets.
