-- 根據彭博社週五引述知情人士報道,儘管衝突持續,沙烏地阿美和阿布達比國家石油公司仍繼續透過霍爾木茲海峽運輸原油。 自3月初以來,非伊朗原油經霍爾木茲海峽的日流量已降至約50萬桶,而衝突爆發前約為1,360萬桶/日。 在伊朗近10週前實際上關閉該航道後,沙烏地阿拉伯的阿聯酋的阿布達比國家石油公司仍然是少數幾家仍在透過該水道運輸原油的公司。 彭博社報道稱,為了將貨物運出海灣地區,各公司接受了更高的運輸風險和成本,同時許多油輪關閉了應答器以降低被發現的幾率。 分析補充說,衝突期間,伊朗加大了對霍爾木茲海峽週邊地區的施壓力度,並在遭到美國襲擊後於週五扣押了一艘船隻,儘管據報道該船載有受制裁的伊朗原油。 阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)已成為最早恢復經由霍爾木茲海峽出口原油、燃料和天然氣的公司之一,其中包括在波斯灣外富查伊拉附近裝載的上紮庫姆原油。 根據彭博社引述Vortexa的數據,超級油輪「巴士拉能源號」(Basrah Energy)於4月17日從齊爾庫島裝載原油後,於4月下旬離開波斯灣,隨後在蘇哈爾附近將貨物轉運至另一艘駛往中國的船隻。 報告引述Kpler的數據稱,另一艘超級油輪「富查伊拉能源號」(Fujairah Energy)截至週四仍停留在阿布達比附近的波斯灣,此前該船已透過船對船轉運接收了原油。 ADNOC已暫時租用“富查伊拉能源號”,用於在5月15日至17日期間向亞洲運送原油,因為該船在離開波斯灣前可能會繼續接收額外的石油貨物。 由於安全風險上升和租船費率飆升,許多船東避開了該地區,而韓國新科集團(Sinokor Group)控制這兩艘船,並繼續在海灣地區積極運作。 本週早些時候,隨著中東地區襲擊事件升級,伊朗無人機在阿曼附近襲擊了阿布達比國家石油公司(ADNOC)物流與服務公司旗下的油輪「巴拉卡號」(Barakah)。當時,該船正通過霍爾木茲海峽,且其應答器處於關閉狀態。 航運數據顯示,一些公司將陸上儲存的燃料產品裝載到油輪上後,從阿聯酋哈姆裡亞港駛出波斯灣。 3月26日,油輪「音樂號」(Musik)從哈姆裡亞港裝載了一批石腦油,並於5月1日穿越霍爾木茲海峽。但目前尚不清楚這批貨物的承運公司是誰。 儘管霍爾木茲海峽週邊風險日益增加,但包括總部位於希臘的Dynacom Tankers Management公司在內的多家公司仍在關閉船舶應答器的情況下繼續透過該水道運輸貨物。 Mercuria Energy Group執行長Marco Dunand上個月表示,該公司也成功安排船舶通過霍爾木茲海峽。他在英國《金融時報》全球大宗商品高峰會上補充說,實際的油輪通行量超過了可見的船舶追蹤數據。 報告稱,自衝突升級以來,至少有25艘油輪通過霍爾木茲海峽運輸貨物,其中包括載貨量約200萬桶的超大型原油運輸船,以及載貨量約為其三分之一的小型阿芙拉型油輪。已聯繫沙烏地阿美和阿布達比國家石油公司尋求置評。 (市場動態新聞來自與全球市場專業人士的對話。這些資訊據信來自可靠來源,但可能包含傳聞和推測。準確性無法保證。)
