忧思石油运输线

Anxiety About Petroleum Transportation

今后十年中国石油进口量增势难减,年进口突破1亿吨的日子并不遥远。从海外进口石油一般有三种运输方式:海运、管道运输、铁路运输。但中国缺乏跨国石油管道,铁路运输原油数量很少,90％的进口石油需要通过油轮从海上运输,而目前进口原油海运总量的90％是由国外油轮承担。国内油轮船队明显存在规模小、吨位少、船型结构不合理等问题。

China's oil import has been increasing year after year. It will not he long before the annual import reaches 100 million ton. There are three modes of transport for importing oil from abroad, that is to say import can be carried out by sea. by pipeline or by train. However, China does not have the pipeline linked to foreign countries, 90% of imported oil is transported by foreign oil tankers by sea, and very little crude oil is transported by train. China's oil tankers cannot fulfill the task because of their small scale, scarce tonnage and improper structure of tankers. Some experts appealed that petroleum transportation safety should be included into China petroleum security system, and petroleum enterprises and shipping companies should cooperate to set up China's own oil tanker team. Meanwhile, diversified modes of transport should be adopted. They suggest developing oil pipelines and in terms of oil-shipping china should not depend much on the strategic passage, such as the of Malacca Strait . in order to avoid being controlled by others.
