伊朗因土耳其政变暂时停止向土耳其出口聚合物

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯7月17日新加坡报道，伊朗迈赫尔通讯社17日报道说，由于土耳其发生政变，伊朗16日关闭了其西阿塞拜疆边境终端并暂时停止了向土耳其出口聚合物。

迈赫尔通讯社说，从伊朗到土耳其受影响的陆地运输包括线性低密度聚乙烯、高密度聚乙烯和聚丙烯。

沙特阿拉伯的一名生产商17日说，到土耳其的海上运输似乎没有受到影响。他补充说，由于持续的叙利亚冲突，从沙特到土耳其的陆路已经关闭。

来自沙特阿拉伯生产商、印度生产商、土耳其贸易商和一个主要配送商的消息人士都证实他们在土耳其工作人员是安全的。

一名贸易商说，土耳其大约80%的聚合物是通过进口来满足需求。据悉，土耳其去年进口了130万吨聚乙烯、170万吨聚丙烯和79.1万吨聚氯乙烯。

去年，伊朗是土耳其第三大聚丙烯进口国，仅次于沙特阿拉伯和埃及。伊朗去年还是土耳其第二大低密度聚乙烯和高密度聚乙烯的进口国，仅次于沙特阿拉伯。

Iran's polymer exports via W Azerbaijan halted due to Turkey coup attempt

Singapore (Platts)--17 Jul 2016

Iran closed its West Azerbaijan border terminals and temporarily halted polymer exports to Turkey on Saturday due to the coup attempt in Turkey, Iranian Mehr news agency reported.

Affected land-based shipments from Iran to Turkey include linear low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene and polypropylene, the agency said.

Sea-based shipments to Turkey appear to be unaffected, a Saudi Arabia producer said Sunday, adding that land routes from Saudi Arabia to Turkey were already closed due to the ongoing Syrian conflict.

Sources at a Saudi Arabian producer, an Indian producer, a Turkish trading house and a major distributor all confirmed their staff in Turkey were safe.

Around 80% of Turkey's polymer demand is met by imports, a trader said. Turkey imported 1.3 million mt of PE, 1.7 million mt of PP and 791,000 mt of PVC in 2015, according to a trader.

Iran was the third largest PP exporter to Turkey in 2015, after Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and the second largest LLDPE and HDPE exporter after Saudi Arabia.
