???? 據(jù)3月10日彭博社報道，由于運載燃料的船只太多，基準的中東至亞洲航線上超級油輪的損失周二進一步擴大至每天6779美元。對于油輪船主來說，日子一天比一天艱難。這是至2017年以來最低的收益，實際上，這意味著船主將會補貼在這條路線上的石油運輸。

????油輪運輸費率受到一系列因素的影響。首先，歐佩克正在扣留接近歷史最高水平的石油儲備，并在上周將這一策略延長至4月份，令市場大感意外。

????此外，船舶供應也出現(xiàn)了過剩，而海上儲存的大量原油的運銷更是加劇了這一問題。在去年的大部分時間里，這樣的交易量使油輪遠離了市場，并推動日收益飆升。

????包括Espen Fjermestad在內(nèi)的Fearnley證券分析師在一份報告中寫道：“歐佩克延長減產(chǎn)的決定肯定對短期市場沒有任何好處，因為產(chǎn)量將繼續(xù)低迷?！?/p>

????盡管如此，業(yè)主接受無利可圖的貨物還是有道理的。油輪從雇傭他們的公司那里獲得所謂的許可。因此，如果一艘船長時間沒有租船，這些許可就會受到威脅。

????Giant Oil Tankers Are Losing Almost $7,000 a Day Amid OPEC Cuts

????Times are getting tougher by the day for oil tanker owners.

????With too many vessels to haul fuel, losses for supertankers on a benchmark Middle East-to-Asia route deepened to $6,779 a day on Tuesday. That’s the weakest earnings since at least 2017 and effectively means vessel owners would be subsidizing the transport of oil on that route.

????Tanker rates have been hit by a host of factors. Firstly, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies are withholding near-record amounts of oil, and surprised the market last week by extending that strategy into April. There’s also an oversupply of ships, which has been compounded by the unwinding of volumes of crude stored at ?sea. For much of last year, those volumes kept tankers off the market, and sent daily earnings soaring.

????“The decision from OPEC to extend the production cuts certainly did not do the short-term market any favors as volumes will continue to underwhelm,” Fearnley Securities analysts including Espen Fjermestad wrote in a report.

????Still, there’s logic to owners taking unprofitable cargoes. Oil tankers receive so-called approvals from the companies that hire them. So if a ship spends a long time without being chartered, those approvals can be jeopardized.
