According to familiar traders, Indian Petroleum has issued a tender to lease a liquefied natural gas carrier to load the goods immediately at the Ras Laffan export terminal and ship them to India's Ennol, Dahj and Damra ports. The closing date for tenders is November 9. Traders said LNG buyers had previously been unwilling to arrange for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the first time that India's oil has made such a request.
