"The system, which was already facing a shortage due to delayed arrival of the ship carrying the LNG on the order placed by the Pakistan State Oil (PSO), was supposed to have adequate supply. Though the ship arrived but it couldn't get berthing at the Port Qasim on Thursday leaving the authorities with no option but to wait for the high tide that will enable the ship to berth," said SNGPL official.
The officials also said that PSO Cargo could not be berthed even on Friday i.e. 18.01.2019 due to the continuing low tide situation which is beyond our control. "We are continuously in touch with PSO and the Stake Holders will be informed accordingly," said officials.
The officials further said that RLNG supply ENGRO Terminal reduced from 550 MMCFD to 225 MMCFD. The supply from ENGRO Terminal was further reduced to 120 MMCFD last night because of continued none berthing of Cargo.
Thus total RLNG supply of around 1000 MMCFD as on 17.01.2019 was reduced to 540 MMCFD.
