印度在炼油厂的火灾和低库存中,将第一批喷气式燃料运往美国西海岸。
India ships first jet fuel to U.S. West Coast amid refinery fire and low inventories.
印度首次将喷气式燃料货物运到美国西海岸,预计将在12月初乘Hafnia Kallang号船从Jamnagar炼油厂向洛杉矶运送约472 800桶燃油。
India has shipped its first-ever jet fuel cargo to the U.S. West Coast, delivering about 472,800 barrels from its Jamnagar refinery to Los Angeles aboard the Hafnia Kallang, expected in early December.
这一举动是在Chevron的El Segundo炼油厂发生火灾之后采取的,该厂中断了喷气式燃料生产,并将西岸的库存量推向三个月最低的1 112万桶。
The move follows a fire at Chevron’s El Segundo refinery, which has disrupted jet fuel production and driven West Coast inventories to a three-month low of 11.12 million barrels.
虽然这批货物提供了罕见的套利机会,但贸易商说,从印度定期进口是不可能的,因为与向美国西海岸出口达到五个月高的东北亚既定航线相比,航运费用较高。
While the shipment presents a rare arbitrage opportunity, traders say regular imports from India are unlikely due to higher shipping costs compared to established routes from Northeast Asia, where exports to the U.S. West Coast reached five-month highs.
美国的西海岸喷气式燃料价格仍高于新加坡基准, 每桶约10美元。
U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices remain about $10 per barrel above Singapore’s benchmark.
