石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯2月6日休斯敦报道，原油贸易商周一（6日）说，由于不断削弱的价格对东亚开启了独特的套利，来自加拿大东海岸的原油将进行一次史无前例的航行进入加勒比海地区并随后驶向中国。
这次不同寻常的航行还得到了低迷的运费、布伦特原油对基准迪拜原油不断缩小的溢价以及中东因欧佩克为首的减产而不断萎缩供应的支持。
原油贸易商说，71万桶API度为30.56和含硫量为0.28%的White Rose原油货物和部分API度为36和含硫量为0.40%的Hibernia原油货物将在2月中旬至下旬离开位于加拿大纽芬兰岛Whiffen Head的NTL终端。然而，现在尚不清楚哪些公司购买和出售这批原油货物。
原油贸易商说，这些加拿大等级原油将先运往NuStar公司在位于荷属圣尤斯坦帝斯的斯塔蒂亚终端，它们将在这个终端与一种未指明的拉丁美洲原油等级共同装上一艘将驶往中国的轮船，很有可能是一艘超大型油轮。
根据熟悉拉丁美洲市场的业内消息人士说，加拿大东海岸原油将最有可能与委内瑞拉的超重含硫原油Merey原油一起装上油轮。产自委内瑞拉奥里诺科带的Merey原油API度为16以及含硫量为2.45%。1月份，委内瑞拉大约有366.8万桶Merey原油从何塞终端运往荷属圣尤斯坦帝斯，原油从那里大概分配给其他市场的买家。

China to take first cargo of Eastern Canadian crude: sources
Houston (Platts)–6 Feb 2017
Eastern Canadian crude will make a first-of-its-kind voyage into the Caribbean and on to China, as weakening prices have opened the unique arbitrage to East Asia, crude traders said Monday.
The unusual voyage is also supported by depressed shipping rates, Brent’s narrowing premium to benchmark Dubai and a shrinking Middle East supply due to OPEC-led production cuts.
Crude traders said a 710,000-barrel cargo of White Rose, 30.56 API and 0.28% sulfur, and a partial cargo of Hibernia, 36 API and 0.40% sulfur, will lift mid- to late February out of the NTL terminal in Whiffen Head, Newfoundland. It’s unclear, however, which companies bought and sold the cargoes. Traders said the grades will first head to NuStar’s Statia Terminal in St. Eustatius, where they will be co-loaded with an unspecified Latin crude grade onto a ship bound for China, likely a VLCC.
The East Coast Canada barrels will most likely be co-loaded with a cargo of Venezuelan extra-heavy sour crude Merey, according to an industry source familiar with the Latin American markets. Produced in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt, Merey crude has a typical API gravity of 16 degrees and sulfur content of 2.45%. In January, about 3.668 million barrels of Venezuelan crude were shipped from Jose Terminal to St. Eustatius, from where they are presumably distributed to buyers in other markets.
