中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网站11月27日报道，由亿万富翁约翰·弗雷德里克森（John Fredriksen）控制的Flex LNG公司，以及LNG航运业务的新兴参与者，在今年第三季度实现了120万美元的利润，而2017年第三季度的净亏损为400万美元。 该公司还收紧了今年前九个月的净亏损，从2017年的1170万美元增至审查期间的350万美元。 Flex LNG的首席执行长兼首席财务官卡莱克莱夫（ysteinKalleklev）在评论业绩时表示，公司第三季度财务业绩的改善和第四季度业绩的改善得益于市场再平衡。 “与绝大多数其他液化天然气运输公司不同，我们决定在战略上追求短期就业，直到航运市场出现再平衡迹象。现在市场已经重新平衡，目前的固定装置现在正在以历史最高价格达成协议，“卡莱克莱夫说。 他指出，由于液化能力在近期、中期和长期内大幅增加，船队增长有限，吨位/里程增加，并更加注重改善空气质量，这有利于从煤炭向天然气的转变，该公司预计液化天然气船运市场将保持紧张。 该公司目前拥有4艘水上船舶和9艘正在建设的新船，将于2019 - 2021年交付，将车队增加至13艘高端液化天然气运输船。 Flex LNG公司表示，它已经涵盖了第四季度的所有可用天数，预计该期间的收入约为3500万美元，高于本季度报告的1900万美元。 李方征 编译自 世界天然气 原文如下： Flex LNG turns to profit on rebalanced market Flex LNG, the company controlled by billionaire John Fredriksen and an emerging player in the LNG shipping business turned to a $1.2 million profit in the third quarter of the year compared to a $4 million net loss in the third quarter of 2017. The company also tightened its net loss for the first nine months of the year from $11.7 million in 2017 to $3.5 million during the period under review. Commenting on the results, Øystein Kalleklev, Flex LNG’s CEO and CFO said the company’s improved financial performance in the third quarter and the improved fourth-quarter guidance were helped by the market rebalancing. “Unlike the vast majority of other LNG shipping companies, we decided to strategically pursue shorter-term employment until the shipping market showed signs of rebalancing. The market has now rebalanced with current fixtures now being agreed at all-time high rates,” Kalleklev said. He noted the company expects the LNG shipping market to remain tight due to a combination of a large increase in liquefaction capacity in the near, medium and long-term, limited fleet growth, increased ton/mileage and increased focus on improving air quality favoring the ongoing switch from coal to natural gas. The company today has four vessels on the water and nine additional newbuildings under construction which are set for delivery in 2019-2021, increasing the fleet to a total of thirteen high-end LNG carriers. Flex LNG said it has already covered all available days for the fourth quarter expecting revenues of approximately $35 million in the period, up on the $19 million reported in the quarter under review.
