据路透社3月26日伦敦报道，打捞公司称，一艘堵塞埃及苏伊士运河的巨型集装箱船可能会被困数周，这将阻碍连接欧洲、中东和亚洲的石油和燃料运输。
有多少石油经过这条运河？
根据油轮跟踪公司Kpler的数据，2020年通过海运方式每天进口的原油为3920万桶，其中174万桶通过苏伊士运河。
原油桶运向哪个方向？
原油和精炼燃料双向流经193公里（120英里）长的苏伊士运河。根据Kpler的数据，2020年欧洲每天从苏伊士运河以东地区进口55万桶原油，其中绝大部分通过运河进口。
通过苏伊士运河进口到南亚和东亚的原油量在2020年6月达到了127万桶/日的高位，后来在11月触及31万桶/日的最低点。
精炼产品的情况如何？
根据Kpler的数据，去年全球精炼产品进口量中只有不到9%或154万桶/日通过苏伊士运河。塑料原料石脑油在运河的精炼产品流量中占了很大一部分。
Kpler称，截至周四，两艘载有柴油和喷气燃料的中间馏分油货船正等待进入地中海，而两艘载有石脑油的船只正等待开始东行。
是否有管道与运河平行？
据Sumed网站，连接苏伊士湾和地中海的320公里（200英里）的苏梅德管道将80%的石油从中东湾运往欧洲。
该管道的运量约为280万桶/日，但利用率通常远低于运量。根据美国能源信息署的数据，2018年约有130万桶/日流经该管道系统。

Factbox: What does the Suez Canal blockage mean for oil shipments?
A giant container ship blocking Egypt's Suez Canal might be stuck for weeks, the salvage company said, throttling oil and fuel shipments connecting Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
HOW MUCH OIL GOES THROUGH THE CANAL?
Of the 39.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil imported by seaborne methods in 2020, 1.74 million bpd went through the Suez Canal, according to tanker tracking firm Kpler.
WHICH DIRECTION DO CRUDE OIL BARRELS FLOW?
Crude oil and refined fuels flow in both directions through the 193 km (120 mile) long Suez Canal. In 2020 Europe imported 550,000 bpd of crude from sources located east of Suez of which the vast majority went through the canal, according to Kpler.
Imports into South and East Asia via the Suez Canal hit a high of 1.27 million bpd in June 2020, although arrivals later bottomed out at just 310,000 bpd in November.
WHAT ABOUT REFINED PRODUCTS?
Just under 9% or 1.54 million bpd of global refined product imports flowed through the Suez Canal last year, according to Kpler. Plastics feedstock naphtha makes up a large portion of refined product flows in the canal.
As of Thursday, two middle distillate cargoes carrying diesel and jet fuel were waiting to travel into the Mediterranean, while two vessels carrying naphtha were waiting to start their journey east, Kpler said.
ARE THERE PIPELINES PARALLEL TO THE CANAL?
The 320 km (200 mile) Sumed pipeline connecting the Gulf of Suez with the Mediterranean transports 80% of the oil shipped from the Middle East Gulf to Europe, according to the Sumed website.
The pipeline has a capacity of about 2.8 million bpd but utilisation is often well below capacity. About 1.3 million bpd flowed through the system in 2018, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
