US Navys sinking of Iranian tankers to hit Chinas oil supply: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) While a decade of US sanctions have failed to check Chinas oil purchases from Iran at discounted prices, the actual sinking of Iranian oil tankers by American missiles last week are expected to drastically hit Chinese oil supplies, according to an article in Modern Diplomacy. The article highlights that the US Navy strike that sank an Iranian oil tanker loading at Kharg Island -- the terminal from where 90 per cent of Irans oil exports are loaded -- is the first time that Washington has attacked the physical supply chain feeding Chinas refineries. This goes far beyond the financial sanctions that the US was imposing until now, which China was successful in circumventing. The article points out that most of the cheap crude from Iran is bought by Chinas smaller independent coastal refineries, referred to as teapot refineries. Unlike Chinas state oil majors, which avoid sanctioned crude to protect their access to Western banks and capital markets, teapots built their business model on the opposite trade: buying Iranian, Russian and Venezuelan oil at steep discounts state refiners wont touch, the article observes. These teapots, which account for 25 per cent of Chinas production of petroleum products, managed to fend off sanctions by falling back on Chinas own payment rails and barter-style clearing to route around dollar transactions. This, along with the support of the Chinese government, enabled to buy nearly all the oil Iran could still export, the article states. However, with the US Navy actually destroying the tankers that have to carry this oil, the supply chain is bound to get hit. China cannot replace these ships which have sunk to the bottom of the sea. The article further states that the teapot refineries are already low on stocks as the choking of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced supplies in the global market. As result, the impact of the sinking of Iranian tankers is expected to be felt sooner rather than later. It also highlights that these teapots run on very thin margins that depend almost entirely on the sanctioned-crude discount to compete with better-capitalised state refiners. Once the supply of discounted oil is taken away, there is no domestic substitute available at the same price.
