SINGAPORE: Pakistan State Oil (PSO) is seeking 500,000 tonnes of petrol for delivery over December and January, according to two tender documents seen by Reuters on Tuesday.

In the first tender, the company is seeking four cargoes of 55,000 tonnes each of 92-octane petrol for delivery into Keamari in December, and four similar-sized cargoes for delivery in January.

In the second tender, PSO is seeking two 30,000-tonne cargoes of 95-octane petrol for delivery in December and January.

Both tenders close on Oct 29 with offers to remain valid until Nov 10.

Pakistan is moving towards 92-octane petrol from November and is phasing out imports of 87-octane petrol, in line with a global shift towards cleaner fuels.
