Corpus Christi bunker prices
USCRP · US · 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 Corpus Christi, 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 Corpus Christi
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Corpus Christi are delivered by bunker barge at public docks, at berth, or at anchorage/offshore locations; tank-truck delivery at public dry cargo terminals requires written Harbormaster permission, and bunkering from a barge is prohibited while the vessel loads/discharges cargo with a flashpoint of 105°F or less (Port of Corpus Christi Tariff 200). All operations must comply with US Coast Guard oil-transfer regulations, including a completed and signed Declaration of Inspection before transfer. At private terminals like Magellan and EPIC, bunkering is water-side by barge only, aligned with the vessel's berthing window, and may not proceed during terminal loading operations; EPIC charges a barge bunkering access fee, and barges over 30,000 bbl are excluded at Magellan. Suppliers include Dan-Bunkering America (Houston office, 24/7 contact), offering MGO, VLSFO, HSFO, and ULSD, with berth, anchorage, and offshore delivery. Corpus Christi lies within the North American ECA, so 0.10% sulphur fuel (e.g., MGO/ULSD) applies unless the vessel has an approved equivalent means of compliance.

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 Corpus Christi, 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.
Corpus Christi bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Corpus Christi today?
- No price is published at Corpus Christi. The closest port where one is, is Houston, about 164 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $680 a tonne.
- Is Corpus Christi 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 Corpus Christi?
- Corpus Christi 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.
