新能源时代下的航运看点

Highlight of shipping industry in new energy era

当国际油价快速飙升至130美元、全球粮食出现供应紧绷、钢材等原材料价格上涨，世界性的通胀不期而至，能源海运正在成为解读宏观经济走向的一大看点。有人对此预测，未来全球海运的重心将重归大宗干散货和原油运输。而随着LNG、LPG的加入，能源运输无疑将成为全球海运市场的第一“权重股”，主导并影响全球航运市场的波动与盛衰。

The demands of North & South America will stably increase,demands of Europe will remain unchanged,and demands growth of Asia will be the main trend of global market,said experts when predicting the energy transport trend in the future. With regard to oil transport,the newly increased petroleum demands shall depend on import as the petroleum production volume of China's Mainland can't be increased greatly,and the sharp increase of China's petroleum import volume will be an evitable trend. Coal has become the main source of world's electricity power next to petroleum,and accounts for 39% of the market shares. It is predicted that the figure would be kept at this level in the next 30 years. Currently,90% of the coals are transported via shipping. Coal and iron ore have become two dry bulk cargos with highest shipping volume in the world. With the entry of LGN and LPG,it is predicted that energy transport would become the first'weighted share' in global shipping market and would affect the fluctuation and prosperity of global shipping market.
