极高的油轮费率正在给实物原油交易带来压力

11月21日，基准关键原油交易线路的每天收益达到10万美元

然而交易商对彭博社表示，各种原油现货价格溢价的下降可能会抵消部分高昂的运输成本

中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网11月22日报道，在今年最大的不确定因素到来的两周之前，飙升的油轮费率正在给原油贸易带来巨大压力。

据彭博新闻社估计，周一，基准的关键原油交易线路每天的收益达到了10万美元。这是自2020年初以来的最高原油运价，当时疫情刚刚削弱了全球石油需求。  

今年原油运输成本大幅上涨的原因是，由于欧盟禁运，许多油轮的航程增加了。

不过，交易商对彭博新闻社记者表示，各种原油现货价格溢价的下降可能抵消部分高昂的运输成本。

除了欧盟将于12月5日生效的禁运和限价措施外，运费飙升又给原油买家增加了一层不确定性。

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.
