Background

GasPort FSRU is a proposed LNG import terminal in Sindh, Pakistan. It is planned for operation in 2017.

A consortium comprising Xinjiang Petroleum Engineering Company Limited (XPE), CCCC Third Harbor Consultants Company Limited and CCCC Third Harbor Engineering Company Limited is providing Engineering, Procurement, Supply, Dredging and Construction services to the project.

The terminal entered commercial operation in November 2017.

Since August 2020 private players are permitted to import LNG to the country, and private sector companies in Pakistan are allowed to use the underutilized PGPC Port Qasim GasPort regasification terminal.

In May 2024, a senior representative from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) visited the terminal. The tour also included a visit to the site selected for the proposed GasPort FSRU 2 terminal.
