中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网9月16日新加坡报道，马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）的一名高管周三表示，受航运业减排愿望的推动，到2030年，以液化天然气（LNG）为燃料的船舶数量预计将增加一倍以上。 目前，在8万多艘注册船舶中，只有不到400艘使用液化天然气作为燃料。Petronas Marine全球液化天然气燃料供应主管穆罕默德?拉姆利(Mohd Rafe Mohamed Ramli)表示，到2030年，全球可能增至1000艘。 航运业一直面临着减少碳排放的压力。今年，航运业还出台了新的规定，以减少船用燃料中的硫含量。这反过来又刺激了油轮运营商和邮轮对液化天然气作为船用燃料的需求。 Ramli表示，虽然欧洲是液化天然气作为船用燃料的主要消费区域，但新加坡和马来西亚的需求预计也会增加，这两个已经是全球船用燃料中心。 他指出马来西亚与印尼苏门答腊岛之间的水路是一条重要的交通要道。并表示，马来西亚和新加坡拥有同样的海上交通能力。仅马六甲海峡每年就有超过80,000次过境，因此这是一个巨大的服务市场。 他称，随着全球液化天然气生产能力的增强，这种超冷冻燃料的供应将继续使价格保持在较低水平，与其他燃料相比具有竞争力。 马来西亚国家石油公司计划在“Avenir Advantage”号油轮完成在中国的最后试航后，在马来西亚提供液化天然气加注服务。 在美国和澳大利亚的新产能压低现货价格的时候，马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）一直在探索推广LNG作为船用燃料的方法。马来西亚是世界第四大LNG出口国。 郝芬 译自 能源世界网 原文如下： LNG-fuelled tankers to more than double by 2030: Petronas exec The number of ships fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected to more than double by 2030, driven by the shipping industry's desire to cut emissions, a senior executive at Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said on Wednesday. Currently, less than 400 out of a total of more than 80,000 registered ships, run on LNG as fuel source. This number could increase to 1,000 vessels globally by 2030, said Mohd Rafe Mohamed Ramli, head of global LNG bunkering at Petronas Marine. The shipping industry has been under pressure to reduce carbon emissions, after also introducing new rules this year to cut the sulphur content in marine fuels, also know as bunker fuels. This in turn is prompting demand for LNG as a bunker fuel by tanker operators and cruise liners. While Europe is the main consumption region for LNG as a bunker fuel, demand in Singapore and Malaysia, already global oil bunker fuel hubs, is also expected to increase, Ramli said. "Malaysia and Singapore share the same marine traffic. There are more than 80,000 transits in the Malacca Strait alone every year, so this is a huge market to serve," he said, referring to the waterway between Malaysia and the Indonesian island of Sumatra that is a key shipping lane. As LNG production capacity builds globally, the availability of the super-chilled fuel will continue to keep prices low and competitive against other fuels, he said. Petronas plans to use the tanker Avenir Advantage to provide LNG bunkering services in Malaysia once the ship completes its final commissioning exercise in China. Petronas has been exploring ways to promote LNG as a marine fuel at a time when spot prices have been depressed by new capacity from the United States and Australia. Malaysia is the world's fourth-largest LNG exporter. |
