極高的油輪費率正在給實物原油交易帶來壓力

11月21日，基準關鍵原油交易線路的每天收益達到10萬美元

然而交易商對彭博社表示，各種原油現貨價格溢價的下降可能會抵消部分高昂的運輸成本

據油價網11月22日報道，在今年最大的不確定因素到來的兩周之前，飆升的油輪費率正在給原油貿易帶來巨大壓力。

據彭博新聞社估計，周一，基準的關鍵原油交易線路每天的收益達到了10萬美元。這是自2020年初以來的最高原油運價，當時疫情剛剛削弱了全球石油需求。  

今年原油運輸成本大幅上漲的原因是，由于歐盟禁運，許多油輪的航程增加了。

不過，交易商對彭博新聞社記者表示，各種原油現貨價格溢價的下降可能抵消部分高昂的運輸成本。

除了歐盟將于12月5日生效的禁運和限價措施外，運費飆升又給原油買家增加了一層不確定性。

Oil Tanker Rates Soar To Astronomical Levels

·     Sky-high oil tanker rates are weighing on physical crude trade. 

·     On Monday, the earnings on the benchmark key crude oil trading route hit $100,000 per day.

·     Falling premiums on spot prices for various crudes, however, could offset some of the high shipping costs, traders told Bloomberg.

Surging tanker rates are weighing on the crude trade two weeks ahead of the biggest uncertainty for physical oil flows this year—the EU embargo.

On Monday, the earnings on the benchmark key crude oil trading route hit $100,000 per day, according to Bloomberg’s estimates. That’s the highest crude oil tanker rate since the beginning of 2020, just before Covid sapped global oil demand.

The much higher cost of shipping crude this year is the result of the longer voyages many tankers are now making because of the EU sanctions.

Falling premiums on spot prices for various crudes, however, could offset some of the high shipping costs, traders told Bloomberg.

The surge in freight rates adds an additional layer of uncertainty for crude oil buyers, on top of the EU embargo and price cap set to enter into force on December 5.
