据石油新闻2021年4月13日迪拜报道，由于阿联酋最大的能源生产商阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)计划在2030年前把石油产能提高25%至500万桶/天，预计新的穆尔班原油期货将促进交易的ADNOC日前又购买了两艘超大型油轮（VLCC）。
ADNOC在4月13日的一份声明中表示，其旗下航运部门ADNOC物流和服务公司目前拥有8艘VLCC，总原油货运能力达到1600万桶。
ADNOC表示:“VLCC船队的扩张在支持ICE穆尔班期货原油方面发挥了重要作用，预计将促进阿联酋旗舰产品穆尔班原油的贸易，使其能够接触到全球各地的新客户和市
场。穆尔班期货原油合同的推出也将使ADNOC 物流和服务公司进一步提高其在原油行业的船舶运力利用率。”
穆尔班期货原油在3月29日开始在ICE阿布扎比期货交易所交易。
新收购的船只包括一艘新型VLCC，装备双燃料技术，预计将于2023年第一季度交付，以及一艘现有船只，预计将于2021年第二季度加入船队。ADNOC没有披露此次收购的价值。
ADNOC表示，船队扩张是“受其附属公司需求增加的推动，特别是ADNOC贸易公司和ADNOC全球贸易公司，以及有利的油轮资产价格”。在2020年，ADNOC物流和服务公司收购了16艘深海船，从而扩大了其船队。
专注于原油交易的新子公司ADNOC贸易公司于去年9月开始运营。ADNOC全球贸易公司是与OMV和埃尼公司的合资企业，于去年12月开始运营，将专注于精制石油产品的贸易。
ADNOC表示，最新购入的由韩国大宇公司制造的油轮长度为336米，载重量为30万吨。
ADNOC物流和服务公司现有140艘自有船只和100艘租赁船只，包括用于深海航运、近海支持和海运服务。

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.
