據普氏能源資訊12月14日倫敦報道，在中斷了10年以后，西北歐日前向伊朗第一批高硫輕油打開了大門，而這些新來的供應量將在阿姆斯特丹——鹿特丹——安特衛普（ARA）煉油中心內增加脫硫機會。

　　市場消息人士表示，最近設備的規格使得伊朗輕油在ARA煉油中心內成為了脫硫和混合的一個主要候選者。

　　中間餾分油交易商和接近有關各方的消息人士說，今年迄今為止，HSGO發貨量已經連續運行來自伊朗馬赫沙爾港的硫含量為0.7至0.9%的輕油。

　　一名熟悉內情的消息人士說，總的來說，每個月來自伊朗的高硫輕油的出口量大約10萬噸，出口目的地主要是蘇伊士西部、地中海、西北歐和西非。

　　Iran emerges as high sulfur gasoil supplier for ARA refining hub

　　London (Platts)--14 Dec 2016

　　Northwest Europe has opened its doors to the first shipments of Iranian gasoil after a 10-year hiatus, and these nascent flows are adding to the desulfurization opportunities within the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp refining hub.

　　The specifications of the recent fixtures put Iranian gasoil as a prime candidate for desulfurization and blending within the ARA hub, market sources said.

　　So far this year, the HSGO shipments have been straight run 0.7-0.9% gasoil from Bandar Mahshahr, middle distillates traders and sources close to the parties involved said.

　　In aggregate, high sulfur gasoil exports from Iran have amounted to approximately 100,000 mt each month, booked for the West of Suez, the Mediterranean, Northwest Europe and West Africa, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
