全球最大石油和天然气贸易商之一壳牌已制定应急计划以防以色列和伊朗之间的冲突扰乱该地区的油气运输。该公司警告若霍尔木兹海峡被封锁可能会带来严重冲击。“如果这条大动脉被封锁无论出于何种原因都会对全球贸易产生巨大影响”壳牌首席执行官Wael Sawan在东京举行的Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition上表示。“我们已经为局势恶化做好了应对方案。”全球约四分之一的石油贸易要经过连接波斯湾和印度洋的霍尔木兹海峡。过去伊朗曾瞄准过穿越该咽喉要道的船只并威胁过要封锁该水道。最近几天来往船只的信号遭到干扰。“目前特别具有挑战性的是正在发生的一些干扰” Sawan说他指的是波斯湾及其周边地区的航行信号受到干扰的问题。他表示受伊以冲突影响壳牌对在中东地区的航行“非常谨慎”。
