Ongoing conflict in the Middle East is beginning to impact LNG supply, prompting Bangladesh to explore alternative import sources.
Officials from Petrobangla say that while tensions around the Strait of Hormuz persist, there is no immediate risk of a major gas shortage.
However, experts warn against heavy reliance on LNG imports. Around 70 percent of Bangladesh’s LNG comes from Qatar, but delays at Ras Laffan port have disrupted shipments.
Fewer LNG vessels have arrived at Chattogram this month, with authorities tightening security and coordination during unloading operations.
