A consortium comprising Mumbai-based Varun
Shipping, Indian Oil Corporation and Belgium company Exmar NV has reportedly
been shortlisted by Petronet LNG for transportation of LNG to the Dahej and
Kochi terminals. The names of other shortlisted companies are not yet
available.
It may be recalled that in January 2005, around
nine companies had sought requests for qualification for transportation of LNG
for Petronet LNG's Kochi and Dahej terminals. Petronet LNG had invited global
bids for the project in November 2004.
