Alexandria bunker prices
EGALY · EG · Major bunkering hub · Emission Control Area
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Alexandria, 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 Alexandria
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Alexandria works the West harbour only; the authority states the East harbour is shallow and not used in navigation. Entry is through a 400 m gap, then one of two straits: the Large Strait, 220 m wide and 14 m deep, or the Small Strait at 100 m and 9 m. Pilotage is compulsory arriving and departing. Towage is not mandatory for loads of zero to 999 tons; 1,000 tons or more requires tugs for the total load.
Alongside bunkering belongs to the Sixth Zone, the Oil Dock at the end of the western boundaries: petroleum berths 87/1 to 87/5, for edible oil, oil products and vessel bunkering. Nothing is stored behind them. The authority says the port has no oil storage facilities, the berths connect to a refinery through a 2 km pipeline, and no terminals, store houses or yards exist in that zone.
EDT supplies marine gas oil at Alexandria by bunker barge or truck, and extends deliveries to anchorages or offshore outside territorial waters. Minerva lists Alexandria among its Egyptian ports for MGO, VLSFO and HSFO. The authority's own supplies entry still names Shell-Egypt, Mobil-Egypt and Esso by telegraph address, so check who is licensed.
- The authority gives no maximum LOA, beam or draught for petroleum berths 87/1 to 87/5, and does not say which of the five actually take bunkering rather than edible oil.
- No maximum stem size, barge capacity or pumping rate is published by the port authority or by either supplier.
- EDT names anchorage and offshore delivery but publishes no lead time, no minimum quantity and no anchorage position.
- Neither supplier states whether residual grades can be delivered at Alexandria by road tanker or only by barge.
- The authority publishes no current list of licensed bunker suppliers; its Bunkering and Supplies entry gives only company names and telegraph addresses.
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 Alexandria, 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.

Not an offer to sell — a firm price exists only once a supplier has quoted.
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.
Alexandria bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Alexandria today?
- No price is published at Alexandria. The closest port where one is, is Port Said, about 122 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $772 a tonne.
- Is Alexandria 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 Alexandria?
- Alexandria is outside the EU/EEA, so EU ETS does not apply to a call here in itself. It may still apply to the voyage legs if your vessel is heading to or from an EU port.
