New fuel data has been released showing more shipments enroute to New Zealand than had been reported on Wednesday.
In their regular update on fuel stocks on Wednesday, officials said just two ships carrying fuel were expected in the next fortnight.
In a new update, they now say seven ships are due to arrive before 12 April – and a further six are currently discharging or moving around the country.
That’s increased New Zealand’s jet fuel cover by 10 days – meaning stocks will now stretch more than 53 days.
Officials say they’ve been assured by fuel companies there are also a healthy number of ships on water or planned for later in April.
