石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站4月19日消息 大宗商品交易公司维多集团的液化天然气业务在过去一年中呈增长趋势，冷冻燃料交易量也在增加。
维多表示，交易量从2017年的740万吨增加到2018年的780万吨。
维多指出，它已着眼于进一步增长，因为它与市场参与者签订了一系列长期营销和供应协议。
去年年底，维多与马来西亚国家石油公司和Tellurian公司签署了一份协议，共同供应230万吨/年的液化天然气。
本月早些时候，维多签署了其在现代重工造船厂建造的一艘TMS Cardiff Gas X系列的新船长期租船合同。
仅仅一天之后，该公司就从诺瓦泰克的北极液化天然气项目中订购了100万吨液化天然气，为期15年。诺瓦泰克在声明中表示，液化天然气将以离岸价运至摩尔曼斯克地区和堪察加半岛的诺瓦泰克转运终端。
此外，维多发言人对路透表示，该公司已将其液化天然气交易团队从日内瓦迁至伦敦，业务将在本月底前开始。

Commodity trading company Vitol saw its liquefied natural gas business grow over the past year with the volumes of traded chilled fuel increasing.
The trader said the volumes increased from 7.4 million tonnes in 2017 to 7.8 million metric tonnes in 2018.
Vitol noted that it has set sights on further growth as it signed a number of long-term marketing and supply deals with market participants.
Near the end of last year, Vitol signed deals with Petronas and Tellurian for the combined supply of 2.3 mtpa of liquefied natural gas.
Earlier this month, Vitol signed its first long-term charter deal for one of TMS Cardiff Gas X Carrier series newbuilds under construction at Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard.
only a day later the company snapped up one million tons of LNG from Novatek’s Arctic LNG 2project for a 15-year term. The LNG will be shipped on FOB basis to Novatek’s transshipment terminals in the Murmansk region and Kamchatka, Novatek said in its statement.
Additionally, speaking to Reuters, Vitol spokesperson said that the company has relocated its LNG trading team from Geneva to London with operations to start before the end of the month.
