摘要
关键提示今年年初,克拉克森预测2021年中国原油的海运进口量将进一步增长,成品油亦将反弹。2021年迄今为止,中国海运石油贸易表现如何?原油进口开局强劲尽管中国海运原油进口量在2020年年末由于库存高企而有所放缓,但2021年海运进口开局表现十分强劲:一季度进口量达到1,040万桶/天,较去年四季度环比增长14%,同比增长13%。虽然中国买家在去年二季度国际油价暴跌后大量进口原油,由此导致今年一季度的进口水平较2020年6-7月的峰值减少了9%,但仍创下一季度进口量的历史最高纪录。而今年4-5月由于大量国内炼厂进行检修,中国海运原油进口量下滑至880万桶/天。统计数据显示,2021年1-5月,海运进口量同比增长4%至980万桶/天,较去年第四季度增长7%。
China was the only major country to see crude oil imports grow in 2020,with seaborne imports rising by 8%to 9.9m bpd in 2020,further extending the country’s lead as the world’s largest oil importer.Expectations at start 2021 were for further expansion in crude imports this year,and for a rebound in products trade after 2020’s declines,so how has Chinese seaborne oil trade been shaping up so far?So,while recent trends in Chinese crude and products trade have varied,overall China’s seaborne oil trade has seen some positive developments so far this year,albeit with some unevenness.With a range of factors at play which could shape the rest of 2021,tanker owners will be hoping that China,for crude trade one of the few bright spots of 2020,continues to see further oil trade progress.
