Looming Jet Fuel Shortages?

[markis10]

Supplies that have been arriving left before the war I believe. Now there's a gap of no ships replenishing. Maybe at risk for the next couple of months.

A lot of this is supply that left before the war broke out or running through the reserves.

Supplies arriving this week did not leave prewar. Be it crude or refined, by far the majority come from Asia based on tappas from the Singapore/Malaysian fields.
In Brisbane the tanker berthed left Brunei on the 2nd April


In port botany we see another early April departures at both botany and Kurnell


Down in Geelong, same deal

Well that's somewhat reassuring. But the fuel they have put on to these tankers in those ports, has that been replenished or isn't that an issue.

Sounds like you have a lot of confidence for the future then.

Tapis Pumping Platform acts as a hub, handling around 360 kbd (thousand barrels per day) from several fields, as a country we get priority for that because it’s a very sweet (low sulpher) crude the locals don’t need or can afford. They also need our LPG.

Plenty of tanker activity

If you ignore the hype and look at the facts it’s not hard to be confident.

1. We have four refiners not two, a fact the media constantly gets wrong. While the other two are not big, they are getting bigger and IOR does mainly diesel, situated in outback Queensland ontop of a big reserve, watch this space. Small oil refinery in outback Queensland could be on cusp of expansion
2. Our largest refinery and petrol retailer has a majority shareholder who happens to be the worlds biggest trader of fuel with over 300 tankers on the sea, they are making great coin at the moment and it’s very much in their interests to support the Aussie operations like they have done for 70 years. I think it was a mistake for the government to offer a guarantee on payment/supply in this case because at least for this company, they already effectively have it via their largest shareholder - family first so to speak.

I did mention earlier upthread I wish there was a news service that gave facts not hyperbole. Unicorn. Thankyou I appreciate your input.
