中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯4月7日悉尼报道，日本三菱公司的一名发言人7日在东京披露，三菱公司将在6月份从其位于南澳大利亚州波尼森港投资8300万美元新建的进口终端开始销售柴油，发言人的此番讲话证实了日经新闻早些时候一篇报道的细节。

三菱公司是已经在澳大利亚燃料配送业务中取得立足点的为数不多日本公司中的一个，包括出光兴产和东燃通用。澳大利亚已经成为了亚太地区最大的超低硫柴油进口国。

三菱公司全资拥有子公司Petro Diamond澳大利亚公司在2013年1月收购了拥有建造和运行这个终端许可证的波尼森港燃料公司。这个设施将为偏远地区的开采和运输行业服务。

波尼森港终端具有年处理566万桶柴油的能力，这个终端预计将从印度和东南亚炼油厂进口柴油。这个设施拥有3个储罐，每个储罐能够储存16.9825万桶柴油。

Japan's Mitsubishi to launch Australian diesel sales in June

Sydney (Platts)--7 Apr 2016

Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation is set to begin sales of diesel from its new $110 million ($83 million) import terminal at Port Bonython in South Australia in June, a company spokesman said Thursday, confirming the details of a report in the Nikkei.

Mitsubishi is among a handful of Japanese players, including Idemitsu Kosan and TonenGeneral Sekiyu, which have taken footholds in the fuel distribution business in Australia. The country has recently emerged as Asia-Pacific's largest importer of ultra low sulfur diesel.

Mitsubishi's wholly owned Australian petroleum business subsidiary Petro Diamond Australia acquired Port Bonython Fuels, which held the licenses to build and operate the terminal, in January 2013. The facility will serve the remote region's mining and transport industries.

The Port Bonython terminal has a throughput capacity of 900,000 kiloliters (5.66 million barrels)/year of diesel, expected to be imported from refineries in India and Southeast Asia. The facility comprises three storage tanks, each with a capacity of 27,000 kl or 169,825 barrels.
