«Совкомфлот» продал 11% своих судов
«Совкомфлот», крупнейшая российская судоходная компания, продала 14 судов, сократив численность собственного флота до 111 единиц. «Совкомфлот» сообщил об этом 17 мая, а продажа судов завершилась 13 мая.
Компания не раскрывает список судов и не называет покупателей. «Совкомфлот» также не комментирует, планирует ли выставлять на продажу другие суда.
В начале мая компания сообщала о намерении продать суда, которые дольше всего находятся в эксплуатации, а также суда, «эксплуатация которых не представляется целесообразной в силу введенных в отношении российского торгового флота ограничений». Но в «Совкомфлоте» тогда опровергали предположения, что к продаже предлагается около трети судов компании.
Завершившаяся на прошлой неделе продажа 14 судов была связана с процессом реструктуризации кредитных обязательств группы «Совкомфлот». К настоящему моменту доля судов компании, находящихся в залоге, сократилась до 10%, сообщили в «Совкомфлоте» 17 мая. Размер общей кредиторской задолженности группы уменьшился до $1,7 млрд по сравнению с $3 млрд, заявили в компании, не уточнив период, за который произошло сокращение задолженности.
По состоянию на 31 декабря 2021 г., группа «Совкомфлот» владела и управляла флотом из 122 судов, включая 50 танкеров для перевозки нефти, 34 танкера для перевозки нефтепродуктов, 17 челночных танкеров, 8 танкеров для перевозки сжиженного природного газа (СПГ), 2 танкеров для перевозки сжиженных нефтяных газов, а также 10 ледокольных судов снабжения и одно зафрахтованное сейсмическое исследовательское судно. «Совкомфлот» использует челночные танкеры для доставки нефти с арктических месторождений на промежуточные пункты перевалки, включая танкеры-накопители. Список челночных танкеров «Совкомфлота» на конец 2021 г., по данным участников рынка, включал суда типоразмеров Aframax, Panamax и Medium Range (MR), а флот танкеров для перевозки нефтепродуктов состоял из судов типоразмеров Long Range (LR1 and LR2), MR и Handysize.

Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul reallocates gas supply
Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul reallocates gas supply
Sao Paulo, 17 May (Argus) — Natural gas supply in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul had to be redistributed because of the historic floods in the state, with diesel potentially making its way back as an power plant fuel to leave more gas available for LPG production. Gasbol, the natural gas transportation pipeline that supplies Brazil's south, does not have capacity to meet demand from the 201,000 b/d Alberto Pasqualini refinery (Refap), state-controlled Petrobras' Canoas thermal power plant and natural gas distributors in the region, according to Petrobras' then-chief executive Jean Paul Prates said earlier this week. The Santa Catarina state gas distributor has adjusted its own local network to meet peak demand in neighboring Rio Grande do Sul via the pipeline transportation network. The Canoas thermal plant is running at its minimum generation at 150GW, with 61pc coming from its gas turbine. The plant was brought on line to reinstate proper power supply after transmission lines in the south were affected by the floods. Petrobras plans to use a diesel engine to increase power generation. The current approved fuel cost (CVU) for diesel in the Canoas plant is of R1,115.29/MWh. Petrobras is also operating Refap at 59pc of its maximum installed capacity, at 119,506 b/d. Heavy showers in Rio Grande do Sul since 29 April brought unprecedented flooding to the state, causing a humanitarian crisis and infrastructure damage. The extreme weather has left 154 people dead, 98 missing and over 540,000 people displaced, according to the state's civil defense.

Houston area refiners weather hurricane-force winds
Houston area refiners weather hurricane-force winds
Houston, 17 May (Argus) — Over 2mn b/d of US refining capacity faced destructive winds Thursday evening as a major storm blew through Houston, Texas, but the damage reported so far has been minimal. Wind speeds of up to 78 Mph were recorded in northeast Houston and the Houston Ship Channel — home to five refineries with a combined 1.5mn b/d of capacity — faced winds up to 74 Mph, according to the National Weather Service . Further South in Galveston Bay, where Valero and Marathon Petroleum refineries total 818,000 b/d of capacity, max wind speeds of 51 Mph were recorded. Chevron's 112,000 b/d Pasadena refinery on the Ship Channel just east of downtown Houston sustained minor damage during the storm and continues to supply customers, the company said. ExxonMobil's 564,000 b/d Baytown refinery on the Ship Channel and 369,000 b/d Beaumont, Texas, refinery further east faced no significant impact from the storm and the company continues to supply customers, a spokesperson told Argus . Neither Phillips 66's 265,000 b/d Sweeny refinery southwest of Houston nor its 264,000 b/d Lake Charles refinery 140 miles east in Louisiana were affected by the storm, a spokesperson said. There was no damage at Motiva's 626,000 b/d Port Arthur, Texas, refinery according to the company. Marathon Petroleum declined to comment on operations at its 593,000 b/d Galveston Bay refinery. Valero, LyondellBasell, Pemex, Total, Calcasieu and Citgo did not immediately respond to requests for comment on operations at their refineries in the Houston area, Port Arthur and Lake Charles. A roughly eight-mile portion of the Houston Ship Channel from the Sidney Sherman Bridge to Greens Bayou closed from 9pm ET 16 May to 1am ET today when two ships brokeaway from their moorings, and officials looked in a potential fuel oil spill, according to the US Coast Guard. The portion that closed provides access to Valero's 215,000 b/d Houston refinery, LyondellBasell's 264,000 b/d Houston refinery and Chevron's Pasadena refinery.

Houston Ship Channel open after storms
Houston Ship Channel open after storms
Houston, 17 May (Argus) — The Houston Ship Channel reopened to all traffic around 1am ET Friday after strong storms closed a portion of the waterway late Thursday, according to the US Coast Guard. A roughly eight-mile portion of the Houston Ship Channel from the Sidney Sherman Bridge to Greens Bayou closed from 9pm ET to 1am ET due to two ship breakaways and a probe into a potential fuel oil spill, the Coast Guard said. That span of the channel offers access to Chevron's 112,000 b/d Pasadena refinery, Valero's 215,000 b/d Houston refinery and LyondellBasell's 264,000 b/d Houston refinery, as well as Targa's Galena Park LPG marine terminal and Kinder Morgan's refined product terminal in Galena Park. A storm brought winds up to 74mph to the Houston area on Thursday night, according to the US National Weather Service.

Japan’s Jera to handle 35mn t/yr LNG until FY2035-36
Japan’s Jera to handle 35mn t/yr LNG until FY2035-36
Osaka, 17 May (Argus) — Japan's largest LNG importer Jera plans to maintain its LNG handling volumes at no less than 35mn t/yr until the April 2035-March 2036 fiscal year. Rising renewable power supplies and the possible return of more nuclear reactors are likely to pressure LNG demand from Japan's power sector. Jera consumed 23mn t of LNG in 2023-24, down by 3pc on the year, although it handled 35mn t through its global operations during the same year. But Jera needs to secure sufficient LNG supplies to adjust for imbalances in electricity supplies and ensure power security, through more flexible operations. It is also looking to further promote LNG along with renewable electricity in Asian countries, while helping to reduce their dependence on coal- and oil-fired power generators. The 2035 target for LNG is part of Jera's three pillars of strategic focus, along with renewables as well as hydrogen and ammonia , which was announced on 16 May to spur decarbonisation towards its 2050 net zero emissions goal. The company plans to invest ¥5 trillion ($32bn) for these three areas over 2024-36. Jera also aims to retire all supercritical or less efficient coal-fired units by 2030-31 . This would help achieve the company's target of cutting CO2 emissions from its domestic business by at least 60pc against 2013-14 levels by 2035-36.
