中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月12日伦敦报道,一艘能够自行在北极航行的新型破冰油轮,它将装载从俄罗斯快速扩张的Yamal设施运来的第一批LNG。 根据Refinitiv Eikon数据显示,该油轮(Georgiy Brusilov号)在周末离开韩国大宇造船和海洋工程造船厂,并将于11月28日抵达亚马尔的萨贝塔港。 这是第八艘比泰坦尼克号还要长的ARC7级LNG航母,加入了由Teekay、商船三井和希腊船东Dynagas运营的亚马尔船队,预计还将有7艘。 自去年底第一批液化天然气(LNG)货运以来,这些船只使亚马尔的运营商诺瓦泰克(Novatek)得以提高产量,俄罗斯北部设施的产量仅受到在没有破冰船帮助的情况下能够横穿北极海域的承运人数量的限制。 在夏季,ARC7级航母可以通过北部海上航线从俄罗斯北部前往亚洲,在冬季,它们会向西航行,或者运送到欧洲西北部,或者将LNG转移到亚洲。 这增加了对普通油轮的需求,这些油轮将LNG从荷兰、英国或比利时的港口运往亚洲,这也是LNG运费飙升的一个因素。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: New ice-breaking tanker heads for Russia to load Yamal LNG A new ice-breaking tanker capable of navigating the Arctic on its own is set to load its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment from Russia’s fast-expanding Yamal facility. The Georgiy Brusilov left South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering shipyard at the weekend and is due at Yamal’s Sabetta port on Nov. 28, Refinitiv Eikon data shows. It is the eighth ARC7-class LNG carrier, which are longer than the Titanic, to join the Yamal fleet operated by Teekay, Mitsui OSK Lines and Dynagas, with another seven expected. The vessels have enabled Yamal’s operator Novatek to ramp up production since its first LNG cargo at the end of last year, with the northern Russian facility’s output only constrained by the number of carriers able to traverse the waters of the Arctic westwards without the help of icebreakers. While the Arc7 carriers can ply the Northern Sea Route during the summer from northern Russia to Asia, during winter they go westwards and either deliver to northwest Europe or transfer LNG for onward journeys to Asia. That has increased demand for ordinary tankers, which take the LNG from ports in the Netherlands, Britain or Belgium to Asia, a factor behind soaring LNG shipping rates.
