LAUGFS Gas issues update on upcoming LPG shipments

Daily Mirror, Lankadeepa, Newswire and Ada Derana (தமிழ்) report that LAUGFS Gas has arranged three LPG shipments expected to reach Sri Lanka during November 2026. Newswire says the company intends the imports to help restore the national gas supply.

Newswire reports that an OQT shipment is expected at Hambantota Port from November 12 to 14, a Geogas shipment at Colombo Port from November 15 to 17, and a second OQT shipment at Hambantota from November 24 to 28.

Daily Mirror and Newswire say LAUGFS is in discussions with authorities for approval to use its Hambantota LPG terminal to supply the domestic market. Newswire reports that the company expressed regret about consumer inconvenience from current supply disruptions and said it was working to normalize distribution.

Newswire attributes pressure on national supply security to global LPG supply-chain disruptions associated with Middle East conflicts and bottlenecks in the Strait of Hormuz. It also reports that LAUGFS cited a USD 65 million investment in a 30,000-tonne import and export terminal at Hambantota.
