First LNG cargo from US-based Gunvor arrives in Bangladesh

The first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplied by US-based company Gunvor under a long-term contract has arrived in Bangladesh. Discharge of LNG from the cargo, which anchored at Summit's terminal at 4:12pm on Thursday, September 17, began in the afternoon. It is learned that a total of 142,400 cubic metres of LNG will be discharged from this cargo. Under a 13-year contract with US LNG supplier Gunvor, Bangladesh will import a total of 117 LNG cargoes. According to the contract, a total of five LNG cargoes will arrive in the country this year. The government signed this long-term contract with the United States to ensure an alternative source of fuel supply amid recent instability in the Middle East. In continuation of this, the ship 'LNG Geneva' arrived in Bangladesh with the first cargo under the contract. Petrobangla sources said the discharge of LNG from the cargo began yesterday afternoon. This is the first cargo supplied by Gunvor under the long-term contract. Earlier, an LNG cargo also arrived in the country on September 14. The arrival of two consecutive cargoes has somewhat improved the gas supply situation. A total of nine LNG cargoes have been confirmed to arrive this month. Of these, four cargoes—two from Aramco and one each from British Petroleum and Pasko—have already arrived in the country. Gunvor's cargo arrived on September 17. After that, four more cargoes are scheduled to arrive: one each from Aramco on September 18, TotalEnergies on September 23, Aramco on September 25 and Gunvor on September 28. Earlier, according to the latest information at 8pm on September 17, total gas supply to the national grid was 2,605 million cubic feet. Of this, 1,612 million cubic feet was supplied from domestic gas fields and 993 million cubic feet came from imported LNG.
