Aarhus bunker prices
DKAAR · DK · Major bunkering hub · Emission Control Area · EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime apply
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Aarhus, and it carries nothing about the barge, the volume or your credit — which is what actually sets the number.
Why there is no assessment here yet
Only 0 observations in the last 72 hours. We publish an assessment from 3 or more.
No price is published for this port yet. Our assessment is built only from what we observe here — prices suppliers submit to us, quotes received against requests raised here, and stems that close — so it appears once this port has traffic. A request raised now still reaches suppliers; it does not wait for an index.
Our own assessment, computed from observations made on this platform: prices submitted by suppliers, quotes received against requests raised here, and stems that closed. Weighted by how firm each observation is (a closed stem counts three times a list price), by how recent it is, and by parcel size. Values more than 15% from the median are excluded. No third-party assessment is used as an input, and no number is published from fewer than three observations or fewer than two independent sources.
Taking fuel at Aarhus
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-30.
Nothing published by the port or by the physical suppliers establishes a bunker barge or an ex-pipe connection at Aarhus, and that is the single most important planning fact here. Bunker One lists its Danish storage and its barge, truck and ex-pipe supply at Skagen and Copenhagen only; Malik Energy publishes a port-by-port list of its Danish barges, pipelines and tank facilities covering Esbjerg, Frederikshavn, Hirtshals, Hvide Sande, Hanstholm, Thyborøn and Skagen, and Aarhus does not appear on it. Dan-Bunkering, which quotes Aarhus, offers only to advise on the suitability of your intended berth and on the delivery methods available, and names marine gas oil, VLSFO, HSFO and ultra-low-sulphur diesel as the grades common in the area. Treat a stem here as a delivery brought to your berth, and settle with the supplier before fixing whether it comes by road tanker or by a barge positioned from elsewhere. The port's own tariff does include fender hire, given as an example for ship-to-ship work, so a barge alongside is at least contemplated. Two local requirements bite. The Regulation of Order requires a fire and hose watch throughout any loading or discharge of oil products, from the moment the ship-shore connection is made until it is fully dismantled, and every vessel arriving, departing or shifting berth must call the port on VHF channel 12 at least thirty minutes beforehand. The business terms require a call to be notified at the latest 24 hours before arrival, oblige ships over 80 metres to use approved linesmen at the quay, and exempt only medical and weather-refuge calls from ship dues, so a bunkers-only call pays them in full.
- No supplier states whether Aarhus stems are delivered by road tanker, by barge, or ex-pipe
- No maximum stem size or truck-delivery volume is published for Aarhus
- The port publishes no bunkering page, no tanker-berth list and no oil-terminal specification
- Whether bunkering may run simultaneously with cargo or container work is not addressed anywhere
- No notice period specific to bunkers, as distinct from the 24-hour port call notification
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.

The working behind the estimate above.
Those are prices at those ports, not at Aarhus, and the distances are great-circle rather than routed. The estimate above is arithmetic on them — it carries no information about the barge, the volume or your credit, which is what actually sets the number. A request is the only way to get a real one.
Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 8 hours alongside.

A lower headline price at another port is not automatically a saving. Deviation burns fuel and charter hire, and a bunker-only call costs port time.
Aarhus bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Aarhus today?
- No price is published at Aarhus. The closest port where one is, is Rotterdam, about 331 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $663 a tonne.
- Is Aarhus a cheap bunkering port?
- Whether a port is cheap for your vessel depends on the deviation cost, not just the headline price — reaching a cheaper port costs charter hire and fuel.
- Does EU ETS apply at Aarhus?
- Aarhus is in the EU/EEA, so voyages to, from and within it fall under the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime applies to ships of 5,000 GT and above. That adds a real per-tonne cost that a headline bunker price does not show.
