Fiji Assured of Continued Fuel Supply Following Engagement with Suppliers in Singapore

Fiji has received strong assurances on the continued and reliable supply of fuel following high-level meetings in Singapore between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Honourable Sakiasi Ditoka, and Fiji’s three primary fuel and petroleum product suppliers – Pacific Energy, ExxonMobil (Petro Oceania), and TotalEnergies.

Suppliers confirmed that fuel shipments to Fiji will proceed as scheduled, with no anticipated delays at this stage, and reaffirmed their commitment to honour existing contractual obligations.

The Hon. Minister was advised that the Asia-Pacific region remains highly exposed, with around 80 percent of crude oil transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to ongoing global price volatility. While price pressures are expected to persist, suppliers emphasised that supply chains remain operational.

The suppliers also indicated their ability to source from alternative markets if required, strengthening supply resilience. Furthermore, they agreed to enhance coordination with the Government, including timely sharing of information and close collaboration to proactively manage any emerging risks.

Minister Ditoka noted that these assurances are critical not only for Fiji but also for the wider Pacific region, given Fiji’s role as a key fuel supply hub.

The Government will continue to actively monitor developments, strengthen engagement with international partners, and implement contingency measures to safeguard Fiji’s energy security in the weeks and months ahead.
