石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社10月10日新加坡報道，馬士基石油貿易公司在新加坡租賃了儲油空間，這標志著全球最大的船舶燃料買家之一在2020年全球燃料標準改變之前，向亞洲加油樞紐進發。 據三位直接知情的貿易人士透露，該公司已租賃了12萬立方米的燃料油空間，為期6個月。這些消息來源因無權與媒體交談而拒絕透露身份。 馬士基石油是全球主要的船舶燃料供應商，但在新加坡還沒有自己的儲油罐向其客戶供應海洋燃料，其中包括全球最大的集裝箱航運公司A.P. Moller-Maersk。 這一舉措是在2020年出臺海洋燃料新規定之前實施的，新規定將硫含量從目前的3.5%限制在0.5%，以控制污染。 8月份，馬士基宣布與獨立儲油罐運營商Royal Vopak達成協議，將在鹿特丹建立一個含硫量為0.5%的燃油加油設施。 馬士基石油負責人Niels-Henrik Lindegaard上月對路透社表示，該聯合計劃將滿足馬士基對IMO 2020標準燃料全球需求的大約20%，他們正在研究更多類似的加油設施。 新加坡海峽是世界上最繁忙的航運高速公路之一，每年有超過40000艘船只前往新加坡加油，使新加坡成為世界上最大的加油樞紐。 詹曉晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Maersk Oil Trading leases Singapore storage ahead of 2020 ship fuel changes Maersk Oil Trading has leased oil storage space in Singapore, signalling a push by one of the world’s biggest ship fuel buyers into the Asian bunkering hub ahead of changes to global fuel standards from 2020, trade sources said. The firm has leased 120,000 cubic meters of space for fuel oil for six months, said three trade sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media. Maersk Oil is a major ship fuel supplier globally but has not had its own storage tanks in Singapore for the supply of marine fuels to its customers, which include A.P. Moller-Maersk, the world’s biggest container line. The move comes ahead of the 2020 introduction of new rules on marine fuels that will limit the sulphur content to 0.5 percent, from 3.5 percent currently, to curb pollution. Maersk announced in August a deal with Royal Vopak, an independent tank storage operator, to launch a 0.5 percent sulphur fuel bunkering facility in Rotterdam. The joint initiative will meet about 20 percent of Maersk’s global demand for IMO 2020 compliant fuels “and we are looking into more bunkering facilities like this,” Niels-Henrik Lindegaard, head of Maersk Oil Trading, told Reuters last month. The Singapore Strait is one of the world’s busiest shipping superhighways, allowing Singapore to position itself as the world’s largest bunkering hub with more than 40,000 ships calling at the city-state for refuelling each year. ?
