This web site is due to be taken down later this month, September. A newer updated and current website is now live, as of 1st September 2024. I will be moving the documents and the audio file and some information that is of some importance and need to be kept. I would like to thank everyone for visiting this site. The newer site davidtrotter.co.nz does still have the same daily fuel reports and the Fuel Forecast outlook.
There are no records of how much fuels there is in any fuel storage facility.
Ports that can, and have gone over 20 day's between deliverer's of fuels are, Napier, Nelson, Timaru and Bluff..
Marsden Point, after reconfiguration can hold, 260 Million Liters, 160 for Domestic and Commercial use, and 100 million Liters for private use.
A LR2 Fuel Carrier can discharge 120 Million Liters of fuels, enough for 11 days of mixed fuels for the Auckland and Northland region.
Most vessels that port at Marsden Point go no further, however, some do but are much smaller LR1M's
Fuel capacity of an LR1M is approximately 63.8 Million Liter's of mixed fuel's.
