全球最大的海洋燃油卖家（按销量计）Holding公司首席运营官米克尔·坎内加德周四表示，该公司预计今年全球销量将出现轻微下降。
Holding, the world's largest marine fuel seller by volume, expects a slight decline in global sales this year, Chief Operating Officer Mikkel Kannegaard said on Thursday.
他表示，自美伊冲突以来，中东地区的交通减少以及市场更加分散，导致需求受到压制。
Reduced traffic out of the Middle East and a more fragmented market weighed on demand since the US-Iran war, he said.
他在新加坡国际加油会议2026的侧边接受路透社采访时称，该集团2026年的总销量预计将略低于2025年的水平，降至2400万吨以下。
The group's total sales for 2026 are expected to fall slightly below 2025's volume at just under 24 million metric tons, he told Reuters on the sidelines of the Singapore International Bunkering Conference 2026.
Bunker Holding旗下拥有多家主要海洋燃油公司，包括Dan-Bunkering、Bunker One、Glander International、KPI OceanConnect和Unicore。

由于中东关键水道的封锁导致全球贸易流向发生变化，以及该地区燃料油出口下降，供应趋紧，船用燃油价格保持高位。
Changes in global trade flows due to blockades at key waterways in the Middle East and a drop in fuel oil exports from the region have tightened supplies and kept bunker prices elevated.
“显然，阿拉伯湾的船舶交通大幅减少，这导致需求放缓，”坎内加德说。
"You have obviously had a lot less traffic out of the Arab Gulf, which has slowed demand," said Kannegaard.
“我们还看到，通过苏伊士运河的航线也在减少，此外，我们的一些客户也出现了轻微的慢速航行。”坎内加德表示，曾有一段时间，由于油价高企，船东只购买所需的燃油量；与此同时，亚洲部分地区的馏分油供应紧张，而燃油油的供应则相对稳定。
"We have also seen rerouting through Suez also decreasing, and we have also seen a little bit of slow steaming from some of our customers as well." Kannegaard said there was a period when shippers bought only what they needed because of high prices, and that distillate supplies had been tight in parts of Asia while fuel oil availability was more stable.
“我们看到的第一波变化是，大量需求转移到了亚洲……南亚，尤其是印度，也正逐渐成为我们更重要的加油枢纽，”坎内加德说。
"The first wave we saw was that a lot of the demand moved to Asia ... South Asia, particularly India, is also becoming a bigger bunker hub for us," said Kannegaard.
他还指出，随着更多船只绕行好望角以避开红海，非洲地区的销售也有所增长。
He also noted stronger sales in Africa after more vessels rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Red Sea.
“我们对非洲的业务相当满意，并且看到需求持续且稳定，”坎内加德说，并补充称，这些绕行航线为南非和西非带来了更多机遇。
"We are quite happy with our business in Africa, and we are seeing decent and continuous demand," said Kannegaard, adding that the reroutings created more opportunities in South and West Africa.
然而，他也表示，随着苏伊士运河恢复更多通航，这一需求是否能够持续仍存在不确定性。
However, it was uncertain if this demand will persist as the Suez Canal reopens to more traffic, he said.
“非洲永远不会成为加油最便宜的地方。人们在那里加油是因为他们不得不这样做，而不是因为他们想这样做。”但他仍预计，随着投资和企业的增长，该地区在未来十年的加油需求将会增长。
"Africa is never going to be the cheapest place to bunker. People bunker there because they have to, not because they want to." Still, he expects the region's bunker demand to grow over the next decade as investments and businesses grow.
