-- 据彭博社周五援引知情人士报道,尽管冲突持续,沙特阿美和阿布扎比国家石油公司仍继续通过霍尔木兹海峡运输原油。 自3月初以来,非伊朗原油经霍尔木兹海峡的日流量已降至约50万桶,而冲突爆发前约为1360万桶/日。 在伊朗近10周前实际上关闭该航道后,沙特阿拉伯的阿美贸易公司和阿联酋的阿布扎比国家石油公司仍然是少数几家仍在通过该水道运输原油的公司。 彭博社报道称,为了将货物运出海湾地区,各公司接受了更高的运输风险和成本,同时许多油轮关闭了应答器以降低被发现的几率。 分析补充说,冲突期间,伊朗加大了对霍尔木兹海峡周边地区的施压力度,并在遭到美国袭击后于周五扣押了一艘船只,尽管据报道该船载有受制裁的伊朗原油。 阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)已成为最早恢复经由霍尔木兹海峡出口原油、燃料和天然气的公司之一,其中包括在波斯湾外富查伊拉附近装载的上扎库姆原油。 据彭博社援引Vortexa的数据,超级油轮“巴士拉能源号”(Basrah Energy)于4月17日从齐尔库岛装载原油后,于4月下旬离开波斯湾,随后在苏哈尔附近将货物转运至另一艘驶往中国的船只。 报道援引Kpler的数据称,另一艘超级油轮“富查伊拉能源号”(Fujairah Energy)截至周四仍停留在阿布扎比附近的波斯湾,此前该船已通过船对船转运接收了原油。 ADNOC已临时租用“富查伊拉能源号”,用于在5月15日至17日期间向亚洲运送原油,因为该船在离开波斯湾前可能会继续接收额外的石油货物。 由于安全风险上升和租船费率飙升,许多船东避开了该地区,而韩国新科集团(Sinokor Group)控制着这两艘船,并继续在海湾地区积极运营。 本周早些时候,随着中东地区袭击事件升级,伊朗无人机在阿曼附近袭击了阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)物流与服务公司旗下的油轮“巴拉卡号”(Barakah)。当时,该船正通过霍尔木兹海峡,且其应答器处于关闭状态。 航运数据显示,一些公司将陆上储存的燃料产品装载到油轮上后,从阿联酋哈姆里亚港驶出波斯湾。 3月26日,油轮“音乐号”(Musik)从哈姆里亚港装载了一批石脑油,并于5月1日穿越霍尔木兹海峡。但目前尚不清楚这批货物的承运公司是谁。 尽管霍尔木兹海峡周边风险日益增加,但包括总部位于希腊的Dynacom Tankers Management公司在内的多家公司仍在关闭船舶应答器的情况下继续通过该水道运输货物。 Mercuria Energy Group首席执行官Marco Dunand上个月表示,该公司也成功安排船舶通过霍尔木兹海峡。他在英国《金融时报》全球大宗商品峰会上补充说,实际的油轮通行量超过了可见的船舶追踪数据。 报告称,自冲突升级以来,至少有25艘油轮通过霍尔木兹海峡运输货物,其中包括载货量约200万桶的超大型原油运输船,以及载货量约为其三分之一的小型阿芙拉型油轮。已联系沙特阿美和阿布扎比国家石油公司寻求置评。 (市场动态新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息据信来自可靠来源,但可能包含传闻和推测。准确性无法保证。)
