Qatar Petroleum (QP) has issued an ‘Invitation to Tender’ (ITT) for the chartering of LNG carriers for its future shipping requirements, including its ongoing expansion projects in the North Field, which will raise Qatar’s LNG production capacity from 77 million tonnes per annum to 126 million tonnes per annum by 2027.
The ITT package, which was issued to a large group of LNG ship owners, aims at selecting world-class ship builders for the long-term charter of LNG carriers to satisfy the future requirements of Qatar Petroleum and its subsidiaries. In addition to the North Field Expansion Project, the ITT package also covers the requirements for the LNG volumes that will be produced from the Golden Pass LNG export project in the United States. Furthermore, the ITT includes options to replace time charters for a number of Qatar’s LNG carriers that will expire in the next few years.
