The arrival of Al Marrouna is expected to boost supplies to Pakistan's power sector and provide temporary relief due to ongoing power outages and soaring fuel prices. According to a spokesman for the port, Qatar-origin LNG shipments were disrupted in July due to regional tensions. This shipment was procured through a government-to-government arrangement between Islamabad and Doha.
