EGAS to buy five LNG shipments for 2Q2018 through direct order: EGAS is planning to import five LNG shipments for 2Q2018, traders tell Reuters Arabic. These shipments will not come through a tender as is the norm, but a direct order, the traders added. It is not yet clear whether this will be the final round of shipments to be imported, as Oil Minister Tarek El Molla said that Egypt will cease to import LNG by July.
