The government plans to import five cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Oman and Malaysia in 2027, while also proposing a new floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in Maheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar.
The Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase recommended approval of the proposals at a meeting chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury on Thursday, November 12.
Of the five cargoes, three will come from Oman's OQ Trading Limited and two from Malaysia's Petronas-linked Pentitute Energy Sdn Bhd.
The committee also recommended a proposal by China's China National Energy Engineering and Construction Company Limited to build a new FSRU terminal at Kutubjom in Maheshkhali.
The project is estimated to cost around Tk 12,324 crore under a 15-year agreement or Tk 13,161 crore under a 20-year agreement.
