據石油新聞2021年4月13日迪拜報道，由于阿聯酋最大的能源生產商阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)計劃在2030年前把石油產能提高25%至500萬桶/天，預計新的穆爾班原油期貨將促進交易的ADNOC日前又購買了兩艘超大型油輪（VLCC）。
ADNOC在4月13日的一份聲明中表示，其旗下航運部門ADNOC物流和服務公司目前擁有8艘VLCC，總原油貨運能力達到1600萬桶。
ADNOC表示:“VLCC船隊的擴張在支持ICE穆爾班期貨原油方面發揮了重要作用，預計將促進阿聯酋旗艦產品穆爾班原油的貿易，使其能夠接觸到全球各地的新客戶和市
場。穆爾班期貨原油合同的推出也將使ADNOC 物流和服務公司進一步提高其在原油行業的船舶運力利用率?！?/p>
穆爾班期貨原油在3月29日開始在ICE阿布扎比期貨交易所交易。
新收購的船只包括一艘新型VLCC，裝備雙燃料技術，預計將于2023年第一季度交付，以及一艘現有船只，預計將于2021年第二季度加入船隊。ADNOC沒有披露此次收購的價值。
ADNOC表示，船隊擴張是“受其附屬公司需求增加的推動，特別是ADNOC貿易公司和ADNOC全球貿易公司，以及有利的油輪資產價格”。在2020年，ADNOC物流和服務公司收購了16艘深海船，從而擴大了其船隊。
專注于原油交易的新子公司ADNOC貿易公司于去年9月開始運營。ADNOC全球貿易公司是與OMV和埃尼公司的合資企業，于去年12月開始運營，將專注于精制石油產品的貿易。
ADNOC表示，最新購入的由韓國大宇公司制造的油輪長度為336米，載重量為30萬噸。
ADNOC物流和服務公司現有140艘自有船只和100艘租賃船只，包括用于深海航運、近海支持和海運服務。

ADNOC buys two more VLCCs as new Murban futures expected to boost trading
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. purchased two more VLCCs as the UAE's biggest energy producer expects the new Murban crude futures to boost trading as it plans to boost oil production capacity by 25% to 5 million b/d by 2030.
ADNOC Logistics & Services, its shipping arm, now has a fleet of eight VLCCs with total crude oil cargo capacity of 16 million barrels, ADNOC said in an April 13 statement.
"The VLCC fleet expansion plays a significant role in supporting ICE Murban futures, which is expected to boost trading of the UAE's flagship Murban crude oil, enabling it to reach new customers and markets around the globe," it said. "The launch of Murban futures contracts will also allow ADNOC L&S to further improve its vessel capacity utilization in the crude oil sector."
Murban futures began trading on ICE Futures Abu Dhabi on March 29.
The new acquisitions include a new-build VLCC, equipped with dual-fuel technology, which is expected to be delivered in Q1 2023, and an existing vessel that is scheduled to join the fleet in Q2 2021. ADNOC didn't disclose the value of the purchase.
The fleet expansion is "driven by increased demand from its affiliates, in particular ADNOC Trading and ADNOC Global Trading, and favorable asset prices for crude vessels," ADNOC said. In 2020, ADNOC L&S grew its fleet with 16 deep-sea vessel acquisitions.
ADNOC Trading, a new unit focused on trading of crude oil, started operations in September. ADNOC Global Trading, a joint venture with OMV and Eni, began operations in December and will focus on trading of refined products.
The latest acquired vessels have a length of 336 meters with a deadweight of 300,000 mt. The existing vessel is equipped with a scrubber, ADNOC said. The new build vessel is made by Daewoo of South Korea.
ADNOC L&S has an existing fleet of 140 owned vessels and 100 chartered vessels, including for deep-sea shipping, offshore support and marine services.
