Final offers are due within weeks from companies pre-qualified to supply one or more floating storage and regasification units for Lebanon.

Bidders have been given an ­extra two weeks to submit technical and commercial offers for what could be up to three units, with the deadline extended until 21 Nov­ember.

In June, the Ministry of Energy and Water, which is handling the project through its Lebanon Oil ­Installations directorate, published the names of 13 companies and consortia that have been pre-qualified to offer in on the FSRUs.
