石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯9月28日新加坡报道，贸易消息人士本周表示，全球著名石油贸易商托克公司在2020年开始对船用燃料油实行更严格的硫含量上限前已经在全球范围内合并了其燃料油和柴油交易平台。 一位知情人士称，Joshua Grizzle如今是新合并团队的负责人，而Seetal Patel在石油和石油产品交易部门得到了一个新的高级角色。据业内人士透露，这两家公司都位于日内瓦。 标普全球普氏能源资讯报告说，今年早些时候，在国际海事组织（IMO) 2020年出台新规之前，英国石油公司也合并了其麾下的燃料油和汽油交易平台。 IMO的全球船用燃料油含硫量上限新规预计将在2020年初从3.5%降至0.5%，这将迫使大多数船舶运营商转向更清洁的替代能源。 由于船只届时将不再能够使用高硫燃料油（除非船只装有洗涤器），作为一个结果，高硫燃料油（最大硫含量为3.5%）的需求量预计届时将会因此下降。交易商表示，新加坡对低硫燃料油的需求预计将增加，但是届时将没有足够的供应来满足所有额外需求。 因此，船舶很可能转向柴油，柴油通常含硫量比燃料油少，在10-500ppm之间。 一位驻新加坡的燃料油交易商表示：“托克公司可以期待通过合并团队获得更好的合作。” 李峻 编译自 普氏能源资讯 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.
