The scheduled voyages of six fuel transport ships to Australia next month have been cancelled or postponed.

Chris Bowen, the Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, stated on the 22nd that due to the conflict in the Middle East, the voyages of 6 fuel transport ships that were originally planned to arrive in Australia next month have been cancelled or postponed. Bowen said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that these 6 transport ships are from Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea and were scheduled to arrive next month. He mentioned that due to the background of the conflict in the Middle East, there will be "some fluctuations" in Australia's fuel supply, and the government will work with refineries and importers to minimize the impact. Bowen also stated that Australia's fuel reserves are slightly higher than before the crisis, with gasoline reserves of about 38 days and diesel and aviation fuel reserves of about 30 days. Bowen ruled out the possibility of implementing fuel rationing measures in the short term.
