As of 11:59 pm Wednesday May 27, total stock levels were 58.1 days’ supply for petrol, 44.2 days for diesel; and 57.8 days for jet fuel.
These movements reflect normal shipping patterns and routine variations and are consistent with what we would expect even without the conflict in the Middle East.
Overall fuel stocks remain well above minimum requirements and within normal ranges, with regular shipments continuing to arrive as expected.
