孟加拉国8月HSFO进口量环比将增加12%

据石化新闻2020年7月27日新加坡报道，炼油工业消息人士最近表示，由于来自本国电力部门的强劲需求，孟加拉国8月份进口的高硫燃料油（HSFO）将比7月份多12%。

孟加拉国独立电力生产商协会(BIPPA)主席伊姆兰?卡里姆7月23日表示，由于孟加拉国正在应对疫情期间的“新常态”，孟加拉国预计8月份将进口大约28万吨HSFO，高于7月份的25万吨。

随着封锁限制措施的放松，孟加拉国的电力需求一直在上升。孟加拉国是新加坡180 CST HSFO的主要买家之一。

卡里姆表示，自6月份以来，孟加拉国的HSFO进口量几乎翻了一番，达到了每月22万吨左右，而4月和5月HSFO进口量为每月10万吨。在疫情导致长达3个月的封锁后，孟加拉国的企业开始恢复运营，但恢复规模有限。

卡里姆补充说，孟加拉国的HSFO进口量预计在9月份将稳步增长。

Bangladesh to import 12% more HSFO in August on strong power demand

Bangladesh will import 12% more high sulfur fuel oil in August than in July due to strong demand from its power sector, industry sources said recently.

It expects to import around 280,000 mt in August, up from around 250,000 mt in July, as the country is coping with the 'new normal' during the coronavirus pandemic, president of Bangladesh's Independent Power Producers' Association, or BIPPA, Imran Karim told on July 23.

Electricity demand has been increasing in Bangladesh -- one of the major buyers of 180 CST HSFO from Singapore -- with the easing of lockdown restrictions. It has almost doubled its HSFO import since June to around 220,000 mt/month, compared with 100,000 mt/month in April and May, as businesses resumed operations, albeit limited in scale, following the three-month long lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Karim said.

The country's import of HSFO is expected to increase steadily into September, he added.
