洲际交易所（ICE）表示，鉴于伊朗战争持续颠覆石油航运业的主要基准，该交易所将推出基于霍尔木兹海峡以外航线的油轮衍生品合约。
Exchange Inc. said it would offer tanker derivatives contracts based on a route outside the Strait of Hormuz, as the oil shipping industry’s main benchmark continues to be upended by the Iran war.
该交易所周一宣布了两项新的远期运费协议（FFA），涵盖从阿曼湾和西非出发的航程。
The exchange on Monday announced two new so-called forward-freight agreements, covering voyages from the Gulf of Oman and West Africa.
波斯湾的敌对行动以及霍尔木兹海峡石油运输的长期中断，以及最近红海地区的中断，迫使船东重新规划油轮航线，买家寻求替代供应来源，并要求重新评估定价风险。
The hostilities in the Persian Gulf and the prolonged disruption to oil shipments through Hormuz, and more recently in the Red Sea, have forced owners to reroute tankers and buyers to tap alternative supplies, requiring pricing risks to be reassessed.
自战争爆发以来，由于只有少数船东愿意穿越海峡，中东至中国的超大型油轮运价已受到颠覆。
Since the start of the war, the Middle East-to-China supertanker rate has been upended by only a handful of shipowners being willing to cross the strait.
因此，行业更广泛的盈利焦点已转向不涉及穿越该水道的阿曼至中国航线。
As a result, the focus for wider industry earnings has shifted to the route from Oman to China, which doesn’t involve crossing the waterway.
ICE全球石油市场高级副总裁兼全球负责人杰夫·巴尔布托（Jeff Barbuto）在一份声明中表示，新的FFA“首次为阿曼湾装载和西非装载的航程提供了直接、透明的对冲方式”。
The new FFAs establish “direct, transparent ways to hedge Gulf of Oman-loading and West Africa-loading voyages for the first time,” Jeff Barbuto, SVP, global head of oil markets at ICE, said in a statement.
这两项新工具是基于波罗的海交易所对TD34阿曼湾至中国航线和TD15西非至中国航线超大型原油船（VLCC）航程价格评估的现金结算期货。
The two new instruments are cash-settled futures based on the Baltic Exchange price assessments for very-large crude carrier voyages along the TD34 Gulf of Oman-to-China and TD15 West Africa-to-China routes.
该交易所还推出了两项现金结算的集装箱运费平均价格期权，分别针对亚洲至北欧和亚洲至美国西海岸航线。
The exchange also introduced two cash-settled container freight average price options, for Asia-to-Northern Europe and Asia-to-US West Coast.
