Matarbari LNG Claims vs Moheshkhali FSRUs, Current Position

Before fixing an LNG movement, identify the actual receiving facility. A reference to “Matarbari LNG” is not enough to establish an operating terminal, slot or vessel-call route.

Matarbari notice: Attendance at Matarbari remains subject to the responsible operator, authority and facility acceptance.
Current-fact control: This article explains planning and agency practice. Port notices, tariffs, drafts, berth/terminal limits, Customs/Immigration routes, carrier acceptance and technical-provider requirements can change. Confirm the current primary-source instruction for the actual vessel, cargo, equipment and date before operational reliance.

Moheshkhali and Matarbari Are Different Instructions

RPGCL’s current public information places Bangladesh’s floating LNG terminals at Moheshkhali in Cox’s Bazar. That is a different location and operating instruction from the Matarbari commercial-port development project. Commercial-port design figures for Matarbari are not current open-port availability.

The Public Private Partnership Authority lists a land-based LNG terminal at Matarbari as a development-stage project. A development listing must not be treated as proof of an operating terminal, confirmed slot or open vessel-call service.

What the Charterer or Owner Must Confirm

Name the actual terminal or offshore receiving facility, operator or receiver nomination, cargo, vessel particulars, requested transfer or berthing arrangement, ETA window and the party authorised to confirm acceptance.

Obtain the current terminal or receiving-party acceptance directly through the competent commercial and operational route. CPA cannot confirm a slot, transfer window, terminal acceptance or cargo compatibility on behalf of the receiving operator.

CPA’s Local Role

CPA may review a clearly identified Bangladesh call and coordinate the local agency communication accepted by the responsible facility or principal. CPA is not the LNG terminal, FSRU operator, carrier, cargo buyer or technical transfer authority.

Weather, mooring, transfer method, safety limits, documentation and contingency arrangements remain with the vessel, terminal/FSRU operator, cargo parties and competent authorities.

Checking an LNG Assignment in Bangladesh?

Send the named receiving facility, operator/receiver contact, vessel/IMO, cargo, ETA and required local attendance. A general “Matarbari LNG” enquiry is not yet an operating instruction.
