-- 根據《金融時報》週三報道，由於亞洲買家尋求替代中東貨物的石油和天然氣供應，巴拿馬運河最繁忙航道的通行費已達到歷史新高。 通報引述Argus Media的數據稱，目前過境航道的競標量是2月底美以伊衝突爆發前的五倍。巴拿馬型貨輪的平均過境費用目前為83.75萬美元。 Argus美洲貨運定價主管羅斯·格里菲斯表示，激烈的競標反映出亞洲買家不僅急於從美國墨西哥灣沿岸尋找石油和燃料，還急於尋找煤炭等大宗商品。 研究機構Kpler表示，巴拿馬運河的通行等待時間已增加到六週以來的最高點，為4.25天。因此，一些公司在4月支付了高達400萬美元的費用，以使用運河最大的船閘。 文章指出，雖然巴拿馬運河的大部分通行權都以固定價格提前預訂，但約有30%的通行權可以透過拍賣獲得。 巴拿馬運河管理局尚未回覆的置評請求。 《金融時報》稱，專家指出，美國能源供應充足是運河通行量增加以及亞洲能源需求激增的主要原因。 文章指出，自戰爭爆發以來，已有29艘載有柴油、液化天然氣和航空煤油的油輪從歐洲改道前往亞洲，顯示它們在亞洲找到了更高的報價。 （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。）
