BP将在海上储存航空燃料

据海事新闻3月18日消息称，贸易消息人士周三表示，BP已临时租了一艘6万吨油轮，从本周开始在海上储存航空燃油。

随着几家航空公司大幅削减航班计划，亚洲航空燃油精炼利润率和欧洲航空燃油价格本周双双跌至创纪录低点。

从3月20日到3月22日，BP已经临时预订了Stena Polaris，以每天25500美元的价格储存40到60天的航空燃油，

BP发言人拒绝置评。

咨询公司Energy Aspects的石油产品主管Robert Campbell表示，航空燃油需求的下降幅度估计在每天220万桶左右。

Campbell表示：“由于欧洲煤油(航空燃料)库存接近历史最高水平，浮动储存是过剩航空燃料的一种可能性，尽管由于严格的质量规范，考虑到污染的风险，贸易商将不愿尝试长期储存过剩燃料。”

分析师周三表示，4月石油市场可能出现创纪录的供应过剩，大型产油国将增加产量，造成全球供过于求，可能在几个月内将储油能力压垮，并迫使行业普遍停产。
