Taking fuel at Cuxhaven
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkering in Cuxhaven is possible at berth, with sewage discharge, waste disposal and bunkering available at essentially all quays (Norwegen Pier, Lübbertkai, Helgoländer Kai, Niedersachsenkai, Berth 8/9, etc.). All grades of oil are supplied, usually per barge or truck; before transfer, a Pre-Transfer-Checklist provided by the bunker supplier must be completed and signed by the ship's engineer and the barge skipper or truck driver. Dan-Bunkering (Middelfart office) lists Cuxhaven and advises on berth suitability and delivery methods; common grades are MGO, VLSFO, HSFO and ULSD. Vessels must report to Cuxhaven Port when entering and leaving; the master must report any issue affecting port operations, and bunker transfer arrangements should be cleared with the Port Authority. The port lies in a North Sea ECA, so low-sulphur fuel rules apply, and EU ETS applies to voyages serving this EU port. Tankers over 500 GT face Elbe fog restrictions (no navigation below 1000 m visibility; all tankers below 500 m), which may delay deliveries.

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.
Cuxhaven bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Cuxhaven today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Cuxhaven (DECUX) for each grade we track, updated daily. These are market indications, not offers — the price you pay depends on quantity, delivery window, specification, your payment terms and your credit position with the supplier.
- Is Cuxhaven a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Cuxhaven was showing $814/MT for VLSFO. Whether that is genuinely cheap for your vessel depends on deviation: reaching a port that is $10/MT cheaper is not a saving if it costs a day of charter hire and the fuel burned getting there.
- Does EU ETS apply at Cuxhaven?
- Cuxhaven is in the EU/EEA, so voyages to, from and within it fall under the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime applies to ships of 5,000 GT and above. That adds a real per-tonne cost that a headline bunker price does not show.
