US Military Fuel Shipments to Asia-Pacific Highlight Supply Chain Disruption from Iran War

A request for offers to ship 235,000 barrels of jet fuel from Cherry Point, Washington to Subic Bay in the Philippines, and a separate tender for 260,000 barrels to Yokose, Japan, illustrate the disruption to global oil supply chains caused by the war in Iran. The shipments scheduled for May and June add to a growing trend of American fuel heading to regions typically reliant on supplies from the Strait of Hormuz, which has been constrained by the Middle East conflict.

Unusual US Fuel Shipments to Asia Reveal Global Oil Supply Chain Disruptions

Unusual cargoes of military-grade jet fuel (JP-5) and diesel (F-76) are being shipped from Cherry Point, Washington to Subic Bay in the Philippines and Yokose, Japan, illustrating how the Iran war has disrupted global oil supply chains. A 235,000-barrel jet fuel cargo to Subic Bay and a 260,000-barrel cargo to Sasebo represent a growing trend of American fuel heading to regions typically reliant on Strait of Hormuz supplies. Only four JP-5 shipments have departed the US since 2017, highlighting the unprecedented nature of these voyages amid a global jet fuel crunch.

Strait of Hormuz Closure Deepens Asia's Energy Crisis as Oil Supply Chains Buckle

The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz since U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 has created a deepening energy crisis in Asia, which received 80% of shipments through the waterway. While crude futures have traded on optimism the conflict will be short-lived, physical oil markets show severe supply stress—jet fuel in Singapore has doubled to $204.13/barrel and gasoil up 59%. Asia's seaborne crude imports are expected to drop to 20.62 million bpd in April from 26.76 million bpd pre-conflict, with refinery processing rates likely to be cut in coming weeks.
