Current fuel stocks as at 11:59PM Sunday 10 May (as days' cover).

These stock movements reflect normal shipping patterns and routine variations, and are consistent with what we would expect even without the conflict in the Middle East.

The significant increase in petrol stocks is due to several large shipments recently embarking for New Zealand, while the decline in jet fuel has been anticipated following recent high stock volumes. Further shipments are planned, and fuel continues to arrive regularly. 

Overall fuel stocks remain well above minimum requirements and within normal ranges.

The fuel supply chain continues to operate smoothly, and fuel is flowing into the country as expected.

Fuel importers have provided good confidence through confirmed orders to late June, with planned orders extending into early August.
