Special vehicle set up for gas supply

Pakistan GasPort Limited, Al-Qasim Gas and Jamshoro Joint Venture Limited have formed a special purpose vehicle, Gwadar GasPort (GGPL), for moving liquefied natural gas (LNG) on trucks for regasification at various industrial sites across Pakistan.

During a ceremony, it was disclosed that GGPL would commence engineering work at the existing Berth 3 at Gwadar Port for LNG shipment from a floating storage unit to trucks for transportation to compressed natural gas (CNG) stations, textile mills, fertiliser plants and other such large commercial and industrial units across Pakistan.

The concept underpins a virtual pipeline wherein no gas pipeline of Sui companies is required, and as a result, there will be no unaccounted for gas (UFG).

“This is a major initiative in the private sector to revolutionise the gas sector in Pakistan,” remarked GGPL Chairman Iqbal Z Ahmed.
