Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Bridgetown, 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.

Bunkers in Bridgetown, Barbados are supplied by Caribbean Fuels, which offers Marine Gas Oil (MGO), Unleaded Petrol, Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel, and Jet A-1, with lubricant oils also available. Delivery is flexible in scale and method: the supplier can deliver by barge (e.g. 100,000 gallons of MGO) or supply drums of lubricant in Bridgetown, serving cargo ships, cruise liners, and fishing vessels. Supply locations within the port include the Arawak Jetty (Berths 1 Cross Berth, 2, 3, 4, 5), Breakwater, Bulk Facility, Esso Jetty, North Basin, Oistins, Shallow Draught Harbour, Wharf, Spring Garden, and the Sugar Berth. The sales team operates 24/7, 365 days a year, and can be contacted for price indications and product availability. Barbados is not an Emission Control Area, so the global 0.50% m/m sulphur cap under MARPOL Annex VI applies; MGO (max 0.10% sulphur) is available if needed. A Bunker Delivery Note is required for every delivery, and the MARPOL sample must be retained on board for 12 months.

VLSFO observed at the 6 nearest priced ports

The working behind the estimate above.

Those are prices at those ports, not at Bridgetown, 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.
