近期，随着伊朗加大攻击力度以遏制原油出口的复苏势头，途经霍尔木兹海峡的油轮几乎每天都会遭到袭击。
Oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz are coming under fire almost daily, as Iran escalates its attacks in an effort to choke off a rebound in crude exports.
根据联合国下属的国际海事组织（IMO）提供的数据，在截至10月4日的一周内，共有11艘油轮在通过霍尔木兹海峡时遭到攻击。这一数字创下了自2月底战争爆发以来商业船只遭受袭击的最高纪录。
Eleven tankers came under attack while transiting Hormuz during the week that ended Oct. 4, the most strikes on commercial ships since the war began in late February, according to data from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations' agency.
本周又有5艘油轮遭遇袭击。周一，一枚投射物击中了一艘正在穿越霍尔木兹海峡的油轮，导致12名船员受伤。据海上安全公司Marisks透露，这些船员均为印度籍，涉事船只名为“On Peace”，由阿联酋方面拥有。
Another five tankers have come under attack this week. Twelve sailors were injured Monday when a projectile struck their tanker as it transited Hormuz. The sailors were Indian nationals and the ship, On Peace, is owned by the United Arab Emirates, according to the maritime security firm Marisks.
周四，由美国盟友军队组成的联合海上信息中心向各商业船只发出警告称：“这些行动再次表明伊朗试图在关键航道上彰显自身存在，并持续对过往船只施加压力。”该中心总部设在巴林，负责监测该地区的海上安全状况。
"These actions continue to demonstrate Iran's intent to assert [its] presence along key transit lanes and maintain pressure on transiting vessels," the Joint Maritime Information Center warned commercial ships in a Thursday notice. The center is a coalition of U.S. allied militaries headquartered in Bahrain that monitors maritime security in the region.
据与伊朗革命卫队关系密切的法尔斯通讯社报道，一名伊朗革命卫队高级官员周三表示，伊朗将封锁所有途经霍尔木兹海峡的“非法航道”。
A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard official said Wednesday that Iran will block all "illicit routes" through Hormuz, according to Fars News Agency, an outlet considered close to the Guard.
9月份，由于美军安排船只沿阿曼海岸线航行并为其提供护航，中东地区的原油出口量已恢复至战前水平。在此背景下，针对油轮的袭击事件却频频发生。
The surge of attacks on tankers comes as crude oil exports from the Middle East rebounded in September to prewar levels, due in large part to the U.S. military escorting ships through Hormuz using a route along Oman's coast.
海上风险管理与监控服务供应商Windward的高级海上情报分析师米歇尔·维斯·博克曼指出：“虽然原油运输量仍在上升，但这一切都是在海上风险极高的环境下实现的。”
"Volumes are getting through but they're getting through at a time of extremely high maritime risk," said Michelle Wiese Bockmann, a senior maritime intelligence analyst at Windward, a provider of risk management and and surveillance.
据国际海事组织统计，自7月以来，已有至少9名船员在船只遇袭事件中丧生。
At least nine sailors have died in ship attacks since July, according to the IMO.
周四，航运行业专业期刊《劳氏航运清单》的主编理查德·米德在情况通报中强调：“这种状况绝非可持续的‘新常态’。”
"This is not a sustainable new normal," said Richard Meade, editor in chief of the shipping industry trade journal Lloyd's List, in a Thursday briefing.
周四，美国中央司令部向航运业人士通报了霍尔木兹海峡的当前状况。周三，中央司令部曾表示，已有2000万桶原油经该海峡运输，从而驳斥了伊朗所谓该航道已关闭的说法。
U.S. Central Command briefed shippers Thursday on conditions in Hormuz. On Wednesday, Centcom said that 20 million barrels of crude had transited the strait, rejecting Iranian claims that the waterway was closed.
近期由于袭击事件频发，原油运输量有所回落。根据Kpler于周五发布的统计数据，截至周三的一周内，经霍尔木兹海峡输出的原油日均量仅为850万桶，较战前正常水平下降了约40%。数据显示，整个中东地区的原油出口量则为日均1530万桶，较战前水平低10%。
Crude flows have recently pulled back as the attacks have increased. Exports through Hormuz stood at 8.5 million barrels a day (bpd) for the week ended Wednesday, about 40% below normal before the war, according to Kpler data published Friday. Shipments from the Middle East as a whole stood at 15.3 million bpd, 10% below prewar levels, the data showed.
另据Kpler称，受美国海军对伊朗实施的封锁措施影响，自8月下旬以来伊朗便未再装载任何原油用于出口。
Iran, meanwhile, has not loaded any crude oil for export since late August due to the U.S. naval blockade of the Islamic Republic, according to Kpler.
随着伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队警告称不会将攻击范围局限于霍尔木兹海峡，德黑兰的打击行动已延伸至波斯湾更深处。据伊朗官方媒体塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，革命卫队表示将追查并打击区域内任何违反伊朗通行规定的船只。
Tehran has struck deeper into the Persian Gulf as the Revolutionary Guard warned it will not confine its attacks to Hormuz. The Guard said it will pursue ships throughout the region that violate Iran's transit rules, according to the state media outlet Tasnim.
据负责监测海湾地区安全状况的英国海事安全机构称，周三一艘油轮在卡塔尔近海遭多发弹丸击中，造成人员伤亡。
A tanker was hit by multiple projectiles off the coast of Qatar on Wednesday resulting in casualties, according to a British maritime security agency that monitors conditions in the Gulf.
周五，另一艘名为“Gem No. 2”的油轮在阿联酋近海同样遭到弹丸袭击，船上随即起火。据Marisks提供的信息，该船于3月份从沙特阿拉伯的拉斯塔努拉港出发，自战争爆发以来便一直停留在波斯湾海域。
Another tanker, Gem No. 2, was hit by a projectile Friday off the coast of the United Arab Emirates resulting in a fire onboard. The ship departed Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia in March and has remained in the Persian Gulf since the war began, according to Marisks.
据国际海事组织统计，自2月下旬伊朗战争爆发以来，已有至少24名船员在霍尔木兹海峡、波斯湾及阿曼湾发生的针对100艘商船的袭击事件中丧生。
Since the Iran war began in late February, at least 24 sailors have died in attacks on 100 commercial ships in Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, according to the IMO.
