Gail India issues tender to buy and sell LNG cargoes

Gail (India) has issued a swap tender offering two cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for loading in the United States and seeking one for delivery to India, two industry sources said.

The offer is for two cargoes loading from the Cove Point plant, they said. One is on a delivered ex-ship (DES) basis into Europe for February to March delivery and another is on a free-on-board (FOB) basis for loading from Cove Point over April 25-27.

Gail is seeking a cargo for delivery into Dabhol, India on a DES basis for Feb. 23 to 28, the sources added.

The tender closes on Feb. 12, they said. (Reporting by Jessica Jaganathan; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)
