Pakistan State Oil Company Ltd is tendering to buy 33,000 tonnes of jet fuel for delivery from late August to October, up from the 22,000 tonnes bought previously, said a senior company official on Wednesday. PSO requested the first cargo for delivery into Port Keamari, Karachi on August 28-30, said PSO's Syed Aman-ul-Haque, who is in charge of product imports.
The subsequent two similar-sized but optional cargoes are slated to arrive at the same terminal during September and October. The official declined to comment on the reasons for higher requirements, but industry observers said a couple of the cargoes may be exported to a neighbouring country.
