孟加拉國8月HSFO進(jìn)口量環(huán)比將增加12%

據(jù)石化新聞2020年7月27日新加坡報(bào)道，煉油工業(yè)消息人士最近表示，由于來自本國電力部門的強(qiáng)勁需求，孟加拉國8月份進(jìn)口的高硫燃料油（HSFO）將比7月份多12%。

孟加拉國獨(dú)立電力生產(chǎn)商協(xié)會(BIPPA)主席伊姆蘭?卡里姆7月23日表示，由于孟加拉國正在應(yīng)對疫情期間的“新常態(tài)”，孟加拉國預(yù)計(jì)8月份將進(jìn)口大約28萬噸HSFO，高于7月份的25萬噸。

隨著封鎖限制措施的放松，孟加拉國的電力需求一直在上升。孟加拉國是新加坡180 CST HSFO的主要買家之一。

卡里姆表示，自6月份以來，孟加拉國的HSFO進(jìn)口量幾乎翻了一番，達(dá)到了每月22萬噸左右，而4月和5月HSFO進(jìn)口量為每月10萬噸。在疫情導(dǎo)致長達(dá)3個(gè)月的封鎖后，孟加拉國的企業(yè)開始恢復(fù)運(yùn)營，但恢復(fù)規(guī)模有限。

卡里姆補(bǔ)充說，孟加拉國的HSFO進(jìn)口量預(yù)計(jì)在9月份將穩(wěn)步增長。

Bangladesh to import 12% more HSFO in August on strong power demand

Bangladesh will import 12% more high sulfur fuel oil in August than in July due to strong demand from its power sector, industry sources said recently.

It expects to import around 280,000 mt in August, up from around 250,000 mt in July, as the country is coping with the 'new normal' during the coronavirus pandemic, president of Bangladesh's Independent Power Producers' Association, or BIPPA, Imran Karim told on July 23.

Electricity demand has been increasing in Bangladesh -- one of the major buyers of 180 CST HSFO from Singapore -- with the easing of lockdown restrictions. It has almost doubled its HSFO import since June to around 220,000 mt/month, compared with 100,000 mt/month in April and May, as businesses resumed operations, albeit limited in scale, following the three-month long lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Karim said.

The country's import of HSFO is expected to increase steadily into September, he added.
