Fuel stocks naturally rise and fall each week as fuel is used and new shipments arrive. Current fuel levels are broadly in line with normal levels before recent global disruptions, and fuel supply remains normal. 

Fuel companies continue to report regularly to officials, and there are currently no concerns about future fuel shipments. 

MBIE receives fuel stock and shipment data from fuel importers twice a week. This information is published on the MBIE website on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and shows fuel supply at a specific point in time.
