Track the supply side behind Australian fuel prices
FuelRadar follows inbound tankers, official port schedules, and the latest government fuel-cover data so you can see supply pressure building around Australia's key import terminals.
Background refresh is keeping the supply snapshot warm.

Common questions
Why does tracking fuel supply vessels matter for petrol prices?
Australia relies heavily on imported refined fuel. When more product tankers are about to berth, supply pressure at terminals can ease before that shift becomes visible in average pump prices.
Why do some arrivals show a port location instead of a live moving ship marker?
Those entries come from official port movement pages. FuelRadar keeps them pinned to the destination port until there is a live AIS match strong enough to stand behind on the map.
Does more inbound shipping always mean petrol and diesel prices will fall?
No. Shipping is only one layer in the pricing chain. Terminal benchmarks, crude, currency, taxes, freight and local competition can all outweigh a single vessel arrival.
What does “confirmed fuel vessel” mean on this page?
It means FuelRadar has strong evidence that a live tanker is tied to a tracked Australian fuel port and is close enough to be treated as an active arrival rather than offshore traffic.
