石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社8月28日消息称，因为气温原因，本用来将船只锁在北极圈外的冰帽正在缩小，一条新的能源供应贸易路线正在向北极圈以北开辟，。 今年夏天，热浪席卷了整个北半球，今年很可能跻身北冰洋海冰融化量前10名。尽管这让担心全球变暖的环保人士感到担忧，但持有液化天然气和其他商品的船主认为这是一个机会。今年，他们的货物首次在没有破冰船的情况下横穿该地区，缩短了航运时间，并在西伯利亚难以到达的油田打开供应。 更多通航水域对于俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔•普京增强本国在天然气市场的影响力以及对能源公司Total SA 和Novatek PJSC在推动北极发展方面是有推动作用的，它们还有助于降低液化天然气的运输成本，使中石油（PetroChina Co.）和Gunvor Group Ltd.的燃料买卖双方受益。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Melting Ice In the Arctic Is Opening a New Energy Trade Route A new trade route for energy supplies is opening up north of the Arctic Circle as some of the warmest temperatures on record shrink ice caps that used to lock ships out of the area. This year is likely to rank among the top 10 for the amount of sea ice melting in the Arctic Ocean after heat waves across the northern hemisphere this summer. While that’s alarming to environmentalists concerned about global warming, ship owners carrying liquefied natural gas and other goods see it as an opportunity. Their cargoes have traversed the region for the first time this year without icebreakers, shaving days off shipping times and unlocking supplies from difficult-to-reach fields in Siberia. More navigable waters are a boost for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s effort to expand his nation’s reach in the gas market and for energy companies such as Total SA and Novatek PJSC, which are leading Arctic developments. They also help reduce shipping costs for LNG, benefiting buyers and traders of the fuel from PetroChina Co. to Gunvor Group Ltd.
