自伊朗战争爆发以来,石油正以最快的速度从波斯湾流出,尽管近期袭击事件的增加威胁着这一流动。
Oil is pouring out of the Persian Gulf at the fastest rate since the start of the Iran war, even as a recent uptick in attacks threatens the flow.
将其运出的成本令人咋舌:一次为期数天的航程费用高达4000万美元。对于海湾石油生产商而言,这是值得的。
The cost of getting it out is eye-watering: Up to $40 million for a multiday trip. For Gulf oil producers, it is worth it.
让石油滞留在当地在经济上比承担运费并以较薄的利润出售石油更为不利。
Leaving the oil stranded is still economically worse than taking on the freight cost and selling oil at thinner margins.
