Australia relies on imports for an estimated 90 per cent of its refined fuel products, of which around a quarter comes from Singapore. Singapore, in turn relies on LNG from Australia, with Canberra sending around 32 per cent of the city-state’s needs as its largest supplier. The two countries signed a non-binding agreement Friday, saying they would make “maximum efforts to meet each other’s energy security needs” as the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. “I have assured Prime Minister Albanese that Singapore will continue supplying refined fuels to Australia,” Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said at a press conference.Albanese, who earlier on Friday visited a refinery and LNG terminal on Singapore’s strategic Jurong Island, said it was vitally important for Australia and its Asian partners to coordinate a mutual response to the crisis. Albanese said just as Singapore undertook to send fuel supplies, Australia, as a reliable LNG supplier, “gives Singapore confidence to be able to engage... as an important part of... the region’s economy.” “This is an important relationship at a time where fuel security is on the agenda, right around the globe due to the conflict in the Middle East,” the Australian leader said on arrival in Singapore on Thursday. Three per cent of service stations across Australia were reported this week to have run out of diesel. Energy Minister Chris Bowen said Thursday that 216 service stations across Australia were without diesel — roughly 2.7 per cent of the total.
