Assumptions
  1. 1

    Malta: jet fuel available in June 2026

    Everything refined in the country plus everything imported.

  2. 2

    Where that fuel came from

    Italy's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, April–June 2026)

  3. 3

    The crude behind Malta's jet fuel

  • Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
  • Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
  • The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
  • The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.

In June 2026, most jet fuel available in Malta came from Italy (100%).

Italy's refineries ran on crude from Libya (24%), Kazakhstan (17%) and Azerbaijan (13%), going by its crude imports in April–June 2026.

Taken together, an estimated 24% of the crude behind Malta's jet fuel came from Libya, 17% from Kazakhstan and 13% from Azerbaijan; 2% cannot be traced.

Between 1% and 11% of the crude behind Malta's jet fuel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a moderate dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.

This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.

Hormuz and the pump price in Malta

Calculated
  • At most 11% of the crude behind Malta's jet fuel in June 2026 could have passed through Hormuz.
