Overview
- Pakistan took a second Qatari LNG cargo within three days, with the carrier Muhzamm delivering about 160,000 cubic metres to Port Qasim’s Terminal 1 in Karachi.
- Engro Elengy Terminal began offloading a Q‑Flex vessel on May 13 that carried more than 210,000 cubic metres, the largest LNG cargo in the country’s history.
- The record Q‑Flex operation required careful handling and close coordination among Port Qasim Authority, Excelerate Energy, Nakilat, QatarEnergy, SSGC, PSO and terminal teams.
- Both arrivals followed a limited restart of Qatari LNG movement through the Strait of Hormuz, which maritime intelligence firm Windward described as a significant but constrained resumption.
- Pakistan scrapped a spot tender after securing cheaper Qatari volumes under long‑term contracts tied to Brent, a move that may ease rolling power shortages but still depends on stable regional transit.
