Channel Infrastructure weighs diesel storage expansion at Marsden Point

An announcement from Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited ( (NZRFF) ) is now available.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited has highlighted the potential to expand fuel storage at its Marsden Point site, where it already has nearly 300 million litres in service and a further 350 million litres of tank capacity that could be converted for use. The company has identified early options to significantly increase diesel storage on an accelerated timetable as part of efforts to bolster New Zealand’s fuel security, while stressing that import terminal operations remain normal despite global supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict.

The contemplated expansion underscores Channel’s strategic role in underpinning the resilience of New Zealand’s fuel supply chain, particularly for transport and jet fuel. Any move to activate additional storage would enhance domestic buffer capacity against international shocks and further entrench Marsden Point as a critical energy hub, although the company has declined to comment further on discussions with customers at this early stage.
