???? 據油價網2021年3月24日報道，石油分析公司Vortexa稱，多達10艘載有大約1300萬桶原油的油輪可能受到蘇伊士運河交通中斷的影響。2月24日早間，一艘巨型集裝箱船擱淺導致蘇伊士運河交通受阻。

????Vortexa指出，蘇伊士運河大約每天積壓大約50艘船，任何導致改道的延誤將使中東和歐洲之間的航程增加15天。

????據美國能源信息署（EIA）估計，全球大約12%的貿易和大約9%的海運石油(包括原油和成品油)通過蘇伊士運河和SUMED管道。

????根據Vortexa的數據，今年迄今為止，通過蘇伊士運河的原油和石油產品的三大出口國分別是俄羅斯(54.6萬桶/天)、沙特阿拉伯(41萬桶/天)和伊拉克(40萬桶/天)。

????今年迄今為止，通過蘇伊士運河的原油和石油產品的3大進口國分別是印度(49萬桶/天)、和韓國(38萬桶/天)等。

????Vortexa表示，“如果油輪開始轉向海角，任何噸位英里的增加都將增加油輪的運費率，并在短期內支持運費的上升?！?/p>

????這艘400米(1312英尺)長的集裝箱船，基本上是一艘摩天大樓大小的船，在蘇伊士運河擱淺，并被困在運河最狹窄的航道上，使其他船只和油輪——包括南北航行的船只——無法通過。

????這條最繁忙的石油貿易路線的交通堵塞導致油價在周二又一次大規模下跌后，在周三早盤上漲。

????就在EIA周三公布每周庫存報告之前，兩項指標均上漲逾3%，其中WTI原油價格接近回到60美元，布蘭特原油價格升至62.75美元。

????13 Million Barrels Of Oil Could Be Affected By Suez Canal Blockage

????As many as 10 crude tankers carrying around 13 million barrels of oil could be affected by the disrupted traffic in the Suez Canal, which was blocked early on Wednesday when a huge container ship ran aground, oil analytics firm Vortexa said.

????The approximate rate of backlog is around 50 vessels per day, and any delays leading to re-routings will add 15 days to a voyage between the Middle East and Europe, Vortexa noted.

????Some 12 percent of global trade, and about 9 percent of total seaborne traded petroleum, including crude oil and refined petroleum products, passes through the Suez Canal and SUMED Pipeline, according to EIA estimates.

????The top three exporters of crude oil and oil products via the Suez Canal so far in 2021 were Russia with 546,000 barrels per day (bpd), Saudi Arabia with 410,000 bpd, and Iraq with 400,000 bpd, according to Vortexa.

????The top three importers of crude and petroleum products year to date were India with 490,000 bpd, and South Korea with 380,000 bpd and etc.

????“If tankers start diverting towards the Cape, any increase in tonne-miles will increase tanker utilisation and support rising freight rates in the short-term,” Vortexa said.

????The 400-meter (1,312-foot-long) container ship Ever Given, which is basically a ship the size of a skyscraper, ran aground in the Suez Canal and remained stuck sideways in the narrowest path of the canal, leaving other ships and tankers—both north- and south-bound—unable to pass.

????The traffic blockage at one of the busiest oil trade routes sent oil prices rising early on Wednesday, after another massive sell-off on Tuesday.

????Just before the EIA weekly inventory report on Wednesday, both benchmarks were rising by more than 3 percent, with WTI Crude nearly back to $60 and Brent Crude prices up at $62.75.
