據原油新聞2020年3月26日倫敦報道，航運和貿易消息人士26日表示，由于世界最大的原油出口國沙特日前曾承諾在4月份向市場提供更多的原油，沙特石油巨頭沙特阿美時下正在把大量的原油儲存在荷蘭鹿特丹港和埃及西迪基里爾的儲油庫內。

消息人士稱，由于疫情嚴重削弱了煉油廠的需求，沙特阿美正在利用其位于全球主要煉油廠附近的儲油庫來加快儲存原油。

據消息人士透露，本周沙特阿拉伯國家航運公司（Bahri）計劃使用5艘油輪裝載700萬桶原油運往鹿特丹港。

Bahri說，5艘油輪都將在4月的第一周裝載原油，這5艘油輪包括3艘Suexmazes型油輪和2艘超大型油輪。

消息人士稱，沙特阿美向鹿特丹港輸送如此多的原油實屬罕見。

Saudi Aramco boosts European crude inventories in bid to gain market share

Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco is moving a substantial amount of its crude to storage caverns in Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Sidi Kerir in Egypt, in line with pledges by the world's largest exporter to supply more barrels to the market in April, shipping and trading sources said Thursday.

With refinery demand severely weakened by the coronavirus pandemic, sources said Aramco was making use of its storage hubs near the world's key refineries.

This week five tankers carrying a total of 7 million barrels of crude have been placed on subjects to Rotterdam voyage by Saudi state-owned shipping company Bahri, according to sources.

All these tankers are poised to load in the first week of April, with three Suexmazes and two VLCCs being used.

It is very rare for Saudi Aramco to send so much crude to Rotterdam, sources said.
