Geographic Location

Marsden Point has direct

access to the Auckland

market via Channel’s 170km

pipeline. The next nearest

alternate Auckland fuel

supply import terminal is

located at Port of Tauranga,

195km from Auckland by

road.

The fuels pipeline from Marsden

Point is the lowest-emission

supply route for transport to

Auckland, and does not

contribute to traffic congestion.

There is no pipeline between Port

of Tauranga and Auckland.

Jet2024 Envisory Outlook

2026 Envisory "slower transition" case2026 Envisory "faster transition" case

Updated Envisory forecast: 1.3bn litres of additional throughput estimated to 2050

•Channel uses Envisory’s long-term forecast for business planning

purposes but Envisory’s outlook is indicative only. Channel applies its

own views ondemand and operating conditions when developing its

business plans and market guidance

•Channel’s existing infrastructure can evolve as demand changes.

Since converting Marsden Point to an import terminal, Channel has

grown the proportion of its revenue that is capacity-based and

independent of fuel throughput to more than half of its revenue

Key highlights on Envisory’s updated outlook:

•Envisory’s base case for total fuel throughput in 2060 is

approximately 2% higher than its October 2024 outlook with an

increased share of New Zealand’s petrol and diesel demand to flow

through Channel’s infrastructure

•Consistent with Channel’s expectations, Envisory has lowered its

near-term jet fuel outlook following Auckland Airport’s revised

passenger forecasts and the impact of high fuel prices in 2026.

Envisory continues to expect long-haul travel to support demand

over time, with its 2060 jet fuel outlook broadly unchanged

•Diesel demand is expected to remain higher over a longer timeframe

•Evolving geopolitical environment and the importance of diesel to

New Zealand’s primary and export sections reinforces importance of

New Zealand Government’s strategic diesel reserve providing nine

days of additional storage capacity through to December 2027

•Slower vehicle fleet turnover and electric vehicle uptake mean petrol

demand is expected to remain higher for longer than in Envisory’s

October 2024 outlook
