石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月10日新加坡报道，马士基石油贸易公司在新加坡租赁了储油空间，这标志着全球最大的船舶燃料买家之一在2020年全球燃料标准改变之前，向亚洲加油枢纽进发。 据三位直接知情的贸易人士透露，该公司已租赁了12万立方米的燃料油空间，为期6个月。这些消息来源因无权与媒体交谈而拒绝透露身份。 马士基石油是全球主要的船舶燃料供应商，但在新加坡还没有自己的储油罐向其客户供应海洋燃料，其中包括全球最大的集装箱航运公司A.P. Moller-Maersk。 这一举措是在2020年出台海洋燃料新规定之前实施的，新规定将硫含量从目前的3.5%限制在0.5%，以控制污染。 8月份，马士基宣布与独立储油罐运营商Royal Vopak达成协议，将在鹿特丹建立一个含硫量为0.5%的燃油加油设施。 马士基石油负责人Niels-Henrik Lindegaard上月对路透社表示，该联合计划将满足马士基对IMO 2020标准燃料全球需求的大约20%，他们正在研究更多类似的加油设施。 新加坡海峡是世界上最繁忙的航运高速公路之一，每年有超过40000艘船只前往新加坡加油，使新加坡成为世界上最大的加油枢纽。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 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.
