石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊9月28日新加坡報道，貿易消息人士本周表示，全球著名石油貿易商托克公司在2020年開始對船用燃料油實行更嚴格的硫含量上限前已經在全球范圍內合并了其燃料油和柴油交易平臺。 一位知情人士稱，Joshua Grizzle如今是新合并團隊的負責人，而Seetal Patel在石油和石油產品交易部門得到了一個新的高級角色。據業內人士透露，這兩家公司都位于日內瓦。 標普全球普氏能源資訊報告說，今年早些時候，在國際海事組織（IMO) 2020年出臺新規之前，英國石油公司也合并了其麾下的燃料油和汽油交易平臺。 IMO的全球船用燃料油含硫量上限新規預計將在2020年初從3.5%降至0.5%，這將迫使大多數船舶運營商轉向更清潔的替代能源。 由于船只屆時將不再能夠使用高硫燃料油（除非船只裝有洗滌器），作為一個結果，高硫燃料油（最大硫含量為3.5%）的需求量預計屆時將會因此下降。交易商表示，新加坡對低硫燃料油的需求預計將增加，但是屆時將沒有足夠的供應來滿足所有額外需求。 因此，船舶很可能轉向柴油，柴油通常含硫量比燃料油少，在10-500ppm之間。 一位駐新加坡的燃料油交易商表示：“托克公司可以期待通過合并團隊獲得更好的合作?！?李峻 編譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下： Trafigura merges fuel and gasoil global trading desks ahead of IMO 2020 Oil trader Trafigura has merged its fuel oil and gasoil trading desks globally ahead of the implementation of a tougher sulfur cap on bunker fuel from 2020, trade sources said this week. Joshua Grizzle heads the new combined team, while Seetal Patel has taken a new senior role within the oil and oil products trading division, a source close to the matter said. Both of them are based in Geneva, according to industry sources. S&P Global Platts reported that BP also combined the fuel oil and gasoil trading desks earlier this year ahead of the IMO 2020 new regulation. The International Maritime Organization’s global bunker sulfur cap is due to fall to 0.5% from 3.5% at the start of 2020, forcing most ship operators to switch to cleaner alternatives. High sulfur fuel oil demand with maximum 3.5% sulfur is expected to plunge as a result, as ships will no longer be able to use it except ships with scrubbers. Demand for low sulfur fuel oil in Singapore is expected to grow, but there will not be enough supply available to cover all the additional demand, traders said. As a result, ships are likely to turn to gasoil, which typically contains less sulfur than fuel oil, in the range of 10-500 ppm. “Trafigura can expect better collaboration by merging the teams,” a Singapore-based fuel oil trader said. ?
