突破“马六甲困局”——马六甲海峡与我国原油通道安全解析

Unavoided Malacca Strait

我国原油运输的中东航线、非洲航线和东南亚航线都必须通过马六甲海峡,80％以上的进口原油依赖这条充满变数的咽喉要道,形成对中国石油安全潜在的瓶颈制约。

The Malacca Strait is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. Compared with 30 years ago when only 12.2 vessels on average per year transited Malacca Strait, with a nearly 15% increase in vessel number, there are more than 50000 vessels per year now transiting it and most of them are very large crude carrier, which means 210 vessels per day. 50% of world crude oil, 33% of world trade goods are transported through this Strait. China's imported oil from Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia has to be transited through the Malacca Strait. With more and more oil being imported and transited through the Strait, it presents as the bottleneck restrictions to China's energy security. Parties concerned worry about this oil passage and get down to finding new ways except the Malacca Strait for China's imported oil.
