Core Viewpoint - The closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a significant risk to Japan's energy supply, potentially leading to a GDP decline of 3% due to its heavy reliance on oil imports from the Middle East, particularly through this critical shipping route [4][10]. Group 1: Japan's Energy Dependency - Japan relies on the Middle East for 96% of its crude oil imports, with approximately 74% of this oil transported through the Strait of Hormuz [4][10]. - The country has a low self-sufficiency rate for oil and gas, with over 90% of its crude oil needing to be imported, and a projected self-sufficiency rate of only 42.1% for the fiscal year ending March 2025 [10][11]. - Natural gas is also crucial for Japan, with LNG accounting for 34% of its total power generation in 2022, making it the second-largest energy source after coal [10]. Group 2: Impact of the Strait Closure - The closure of the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a substantial supply disruption, affecting the transportation of 17 to 20 million barrels of oil daily, which constitutes over 20% of global daily consumption [2]. - Japan's LNG supply is further threatened by military actions in Qatar, which has halted LNG production, directly impacting Japan's long-term contracts with this key supplier [11][12]. - Japanese shipping companies have instructed their vessels to avoid the Strait, resulting in dozens of oil and LNG tankers being stranded and unable to transport energy [12][25]. Group 3: China's Position - In contrast, Chinese oil tankers have successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz without incident, suggesting a preferential treatment due to the strong ties between China and Iran [7][18]. - The relationship between China and Iran appears to provide a level of security for Chinese vessels, allowing them to operate in a region where Japanese vessels face significant risks [19][23]. Group 4: Japan's Response and Preparedness - Japan has a strategic oil reserve that can cover approximately 254 days of consumption, with 146 days from national reserves and 101 days from private reserves [25][27]. - However, the LNG inventory is only sufficient for about three weeks of consumption, indicating a more precarious situation for natural gas supply compared to oil [25][26]. - Japanese Prime Minister Kishi Matsumoto has stated that the government will take flexible measures to mitigate the impact of the current situation on the economy and public life, although no strategic oil reserve actions have been initiated yet [27][29].
