Algiers bunker prices
DZALG · DZ · 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 Algiers, 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 Algiers
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
At Algiers bunkers are taken either by pipeline, which is available on most quays, or by barge. The port is run by Entreprise Portuaire d'Alger (EPAL) and stretches along the Bay of Algiers with 39 berths across its basins; berth depths run from 9 to 14 metres and the largest vessel handled is on the order of 14 m draft and 300 m LOA. The tanker berths themselves are dredged to about 10.3 m.
Documentation is the trap here. The port guide I read warns that customs rules are strictly interpreted and that ships arriving with incomplete or inaccurate papers have faced severe delays and penalties, so have everything in order before arrival rather than fixing it alongside.
- The sources I read do not give a maximum stem size.
- They do not identify which specific quays carry the fuel pipeline.
- They do not name the physical bunker supplier at Algiers.
- They do not state which grades are stocked or their sulphur content.
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 Algiers, 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.
Algiers bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Algiers today?
- No price is published at Algiers. The closest port where one is, is Valencia, about 227 nautical miles away — MGO at $1610 a tonne.
- Is Algiers 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 Algiers?
- Algiers 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.
