周二（4 月 18 日），新加坡燃油与物流服务提供商Consort Bunkers Pte Ltd从中国山东省的京鲁船业（蓬莱中柏京鲁船业有限公司）接收了“Pearl Khaoyai”轮。
Consort Bunkers创始人杨肃敬（SK Yeo）先生告诉《满航时报》，这艘悬挂新加坡国旗的7,999 载重吨加油船是2020年该公司订购的七艘“K”系列加油船中的第三艘，将被部署于Maersk Oil Trading的海上加油业务。
“我们‘K’系列加油船的最后一艘将升级IMO 2型化学品油轮，以部署在面向未来的加油业务，并涵盖传统船燃类以及绿色替代船燃，如生物燃料和甲醇。”杨先生分享道。
“预计，这艘船将在2024 年第一季度交付；其中，Consort Bunkers 将成为先行运营此新建IMO 2 型油轮的新加坡燃料供应商之一，并于当地提供服务。”
借此机会，杨先生表示，作为Consort Bunkers 船队更迭计划的一部分，Consort Bunkers 也在4月初向招商局金陵船舶（南京）有限公司订购了6艘6,500载重吨的IMO 2型油轮。
这一批6,500 载重吨的新船除了能够提供各种常规船用燃料，也可以提供包含生物燃料和甲醇在内的可持续绿色燃料。
“这六艘船都属于我们的‘L’系列油轮，将于2024年至2025年之间陆续交付。”他指出，并解释，这些最新订购的升级版IMO 2型油轮将能够在即将来临的IMO 2030目标框架下提供加注服务。
“生物燃料和甲醇是当今被预测可能帮助航运业向IMO 2030/2050脱碳目标推进的替代燃料之一，同时，也都属于化学品类，其运输必须依靠配备不锈钢或涂层管道、涂层罐等其他特性的化学品油轮，以确保能够符合相关的安全规定。
“因此，我们推进航运脱碳的理念，也促成了我们决定委托金陵船厂建造新型的加油船；而这也与MPA（新加坡海事及港务管理局）去年发布的《新加坡海事脱碳蓝图》步伐一致。
“另外，我们也注意到，MPA已引入一项有关生物船燃规格的临时国家标准 (WA 2:2022)，因此，我们在致力于推出新的IMO 2 型油轮时也考量了这一因素。”
展望未来，杨先生分享道，Consort Bunkers 将把2018 年建竣的“Pearl Mercury ”轮和2019年建竣的“Pearl Majestic”轮分别出售给欧洲和中东买家；这两艘8,000 载重吨的船舶是该公司2016 年向一家中国造船厂订购的七艘“M”系列船的其中姊妹船。
“从 2016 年至今 [2023 年]，能够运载常规船燃的新建加油船成本已经上涨了30-40%。”杨先生发表其个人洞见。
“根据我们最新的[‘L’ 系列新造船订单] 信息，与当前的新造传统油轮价格相比，新型IMO 2型油船还得面对额外15-20% 的建造成本溢价。”
2022 年，在MPA的年度船用燃油供应商排行榜上，Consort Bunkers排名第18 位（2021 年的排名为第20 位）。
