Caucedo bunker prices
DOCAU · DO · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Caucedo, 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 Caucedo
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Caucedo is the DP World container terminal southeast of Santo Domingo, and findaport lists fuel as available, but the port does not publish whether bunkers arrive by barge or by road tanker, so treat the delivery method as a question for your supplier. Pilotage is compulsory for every vessel entering or leaving and is available around the clock, with the boarding ground about 1.7 nautical miles southeast of the harbour entrance at 18 degrees 24.6 minutes N, 069 degrees 36.3 minutes W; navigation is available 24 hours. Maximum draft is 13.5 m, though findaport gives a recommended arrival draft of 12.5 m, so a deep ship should plan around the lower figure. The nearest anchorage is off Santo Domingo rather than at Caucedo itself, so if you intend to bunker at anchor instead of alongside the container berth, settle in advance where the barge will meet you and whether the terminal will allow a fuel operation concurrent with cargo.
- The bunker delivery method (barge versus truck) is not published by the port or terminal
- No maximum stem size is published for Caucedo
- Whether bunkering is permitted alongside the container berth or only at anchor is not stated
- Anchorage depth off Santo Domingo and available grades (VLSFO/MGO) were not found
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 Caucedo, 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.
Caucedo bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Caucedo today?
- No price is published at Caucedo. The closest port where one is, is Kingston, about 409 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $852 a tonne.
- Is Caucedo 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 Caucedo?
- Caucedo 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.
