Submission to Senate Regional and Rural Affairs and Transport Committee Inquiry into Australian Shipping

Through submissions to review processes, AIP aims to inform the community about the downstream petroleum industry, and its significance to the national economy, by making available comprehensive factual information and data about the industry and its performance over time. AIP material also highlights the key challenges facing the industry, particularly in a highly competitive environment.

AIP submissions are made on behalf of AIP's core member companies – the four major (refiner/marketer) oil companies who operate all of the petroleum refineries in Australia and handle a large proportion of the wholesale fuel market. AIP member companies directly operate and control only a relatively limited part of the retail market.
