Global Fuel Report

Global Fuel Report, 22 September 2026

Reporting week 15 September 2026 to 22 September 2026. 421 figures fetched from official feeds, 155 computed from them, 14 failed, 18 blocked by the source.

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has been shut since 10 September and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell again, to 18 vessel transits in five days against 26 the five days before, of which 3 were tankers.

The full report is the dated PDF: two status boards covering every named refinery and pipeline the build follows, the country tables, the corridor detail, every alert threshold with the figure it was scored against, and the sources. It is included in every paid ComplianceSME account level and sold on its own at £10 a month.
