阿曼呼籲開闢能繞過霍爾木茲海峽的替代LNG運輸路線
【彭博】-- 阿曼能源部長在一個重要的天然氣生產商和貿易商會議上表示，鑒於波斯灣持續數月的衝突繼續擾亂天然氣運輸，亟需開闢替代路線，以便讓液化天然氣(LNG)運輸能繞過霍爾木茲海峽。 「我們來尋找其他出口路徑吧，」阿曼能源和礦產部長Salim Al-Aufi周一在曼谷舉行的Gastech大會上表示。「無論是向北出口，還是經由阿曼或葉門出口，都要多樣化出口路徑，將資源運出本地區。」 Adnoc Gas Plc正考慮在霍爾木茲海峽以外新建一座LNG出口設施。在正常情況下，該海峽是全球五分之一LNG供應的關鍵通道。阿曼目前在該國東部運營著一座不依賴霍爾木茲海峽的LNG出口工廠。 中東戰事暴露了海灣國家在出口方面對單一水道的高度依賴，迫使它們思考變通辦法來維持出口暢通和經濟運轉。 原文標題Oman Calls for Alternative LNG Routes that Can Bypass Hormuz --聯合報導 Stephen Stapczynski.
