<p>日本計劃從 5 月開始額外釋放 20 天的石油儲備，此前在 3 月已啓動了為期 50 天的釋放。該國旨在將石油供應路線多樣化，減少對霍爾木茲海峽的依賴，目標是從包括美國、拉丁美洲和非洲在內的替代來源進口超過 50% 的石油。這一戰略是為了應對中東地區動盪帶來的日益增長的能源安全擔憂，同時日本仍保持着約 230 天的消費儲備。政府優先考慮將燃料分配給關鍵行業，以減輕供應中斷的影響</p>

</div><p>Japan is stepping up efforts to safeguard its energy security, announcing plans to release an additional 20 days’ worth of oil from strategic reserves as it seeks to offset risks stemming from the Middle East conflict.</p>

</div><p>Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the extra release will begin in May, adding to the 50 days of reserves already being made available since mid-March. The move is designed to stabilise domestic supply conditions while the government accelerates efforts to diversify import routes away from the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint that has been heavily disrupted during the conflict.</p>

</div><p>Despite the drawdown, Japan remains well-buffered. As of early April, the country held reserves equivalent to roughly 230 days of consumption, including a significant public stockpile. This provides policymakers with flexibility to manage short-term supply shocks without immediately compromising long-term energy security.</p>

</div><p>A central pillar of the strategy is reducing reliance on Hormuz-linked supply routes. By May, Japan expects to secure more than half of its oil imports via alternative pathways, including shipments routed through ports on the Red Sea and the UAE that bypass the strait. At the same time, Tokyo has broadened its supplier base, reaching out to producers across the United States, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Latin America, and Africa.</p>

</div><p>The diversification push reflects Japan’s heavy dependence on Middle Eastern crude, which typically accounts for around 95% of imports. The current conflict has exposed the vulnerability of that concentration, particularly as disruptions to shipping flows and elevated insurance costs complicate logistics.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>多元化的推動反映了日本對中東原油的高度依賴，通常佔進口的約 95%。當前的衝突暴露了這種集中帶來的脆弱性，特別是在航運流動受到干擾和保險成本上升的情況下，物流變得複雜。</p>
</div><p>Domestically, the government is also taking steps to manage distribution. Suppliers have been asked to prioritise deliveries to critical sectors such as healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and fisheries, ensuring that essential services remain insulated from supply disruptions.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>在國內，政府也在採取措施管理分配。供應商被要求優先向醫療、交通、農業和漁業等關鍵行業交付，確保基本服務不受供應中斷的影響。</p>
</div><p>For markets, the significance of the move lies less in the immediate volume of oil released and more in what it signals. Japan is effectively shifting into energy-contingency mode, using reserves as a bridge while reconfiguring supply chains. This reinforces the broader narrative of tightening global energy logistics, even as countries with sufficient stockpiles attempt to cushion the impact.</p>

日本計劃釋放更多的石油儲備，並將供應路線從霍爾木茲海峽轉移開
