New Zealand's fuel stocks have been updated, showing stable levels across petrol, diesel, and jet fuel. According to the latest MBIE data, the country has 58.7 days of petrol available, 52.2 days of diesel, and 46.2 days of jet fuel. This data was collected by fuel companies at 11:59 pm Sunday, March 29. 

The latest update indicates a slight decrease in stock levels across all three fuel types since the last update on March 30, but movements remain within expectations and show normal patterns. The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) plays a significant role in fuel stock updates, with fuel being unloaded from ships or on board ships at berth but not yet unloading, or on ships moving between ports or entering the EEZ from international waters.  

New Zealand is continuing to closely monitor the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East on global fuel markets. While this is a fast-moving situation internationally, fuel supply into New Zealand remains stable, and onshore and incoming stocks are sufficient. There is currently no need for New Zealanders to change how they buy fuel.  

Fuel importers manage their imports in line with demand and minimum stockholding obligations. Fuel companies are providing immediate updates to officials, and there have been no reports of material issues with future shipments.
