沙特阿美增加欧洲原油库存扩大市场份额

据原油新闻2020年3月26日伦敦报道，航运和贸易消息人士26日表示，由于世界最大的原油出口国沙特日前曾承诺在4月份向市场提供更多的原油，沙特石油巨头沙特阿美时下正在把大量的原油储存在荷兰鹿特丹港和埃及西迪基里尔的储油库内。

消息人士称，由于疫情严重削弱了炼油厂的需求，沙特阿美正在利用其位于全球主要炼油厂附近的储油库来加快储存原油。

据消息人士透露，本周沙特阿拉伯国家航运公司（Bahri）计划使用5艘油轮装载700万桶原油运往鹿特丹港。

Bahri说，5艘油轮都将在4月的第一周装载原油，这5艘油轮包括3艘Suexmazes型油轮和2艘超大型油轮。

消息人士称，沙特阿美向鹿特丹港输送如此多的原油实属罕见。

Saudi Aramco boosts European crude inventories in bid to gain market share

Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco is moving a substantial amount of its crude to storage caverns in Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Sidi Kerir in Egypt, in line with pledges by the world's largest exporter to supply more barrels to the market in April, shipping and trading sources said Thursday.

With refinery demand severely weakened by the coronavirus pandemic, sources said Aramco was making use of its storage hubs near the world's key refineries.

This week five tankers carrying a total of 7 million barrels of crude have been placed on subjects to Rotterdam voyage by Saudi state-owned shipping company Bahri, according to sources.

All these tankers are poised to load in the first week of April, with three Suexmazes and two VLCCs being used.

It is very rare for Saudi Aramco to send so much crude to Rotterdam, sources said.
