Fiji’s fuel supply outlook remains stable, with authorities confirming that current stock levels and incoming shipments are expected to maintain normal operations throughout May and June.
A government statement said there were 49.7 million litres of fuel available on land as of May 18, with a further 58.12 million litres expected to arrive before the end of the month.
This is expected to increase total available fuel stock for May to 108 million litres.
Based on projected fuel consumption of 33 million litres over the remaining 13 days of the month, authorities forecast that Fiji will end May with around 75 million litres of fuel remaining in storage.
The statement said this would represent about 55 per cent of the country’s total fuel storage capacity.
Forecasts for June also remain within what authorities described as “normal operating levels”.
Fiji is expected to begin June with 75 million litres of fuel already on land, while confirmed shipments of 48 million litres are scheduled to arrive during the month.
An additional 11 million litre shipment is also pending confirmation.
If all shipments arrive as planned, Fiji’s total available fuel stock for June is expected to reach 123.4 million litres.
Estimated fuel consumption for June is projected at 75.6 million litres, leaving an anticipated balance of 47.7 million litres at the end of the month — equivalent to 35 per cent of total storage capacity.
Should the pending 11 million litre shipment be confirmed, the projected balance would rise to 58.9 million litres, or 43 per cent of total storage capacity.
Authorities said Fiji would continue operating under “Phase 1: Normal Status” while encouraging the public to continue fuel conservation measures.
The government also confirmed that discussions with fuel suppliers were continuing to secure pending June shipments.
Officials said daily monitoring and weekly reporting to the National Security Council and the National Disaster Management Office Fuel Cluster would continue.
The statement also reminded the public that while fuel supply remains stable, fuel pricing matters fall under the responsibility of the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission.
