Djibouti bunker prices
DJJIB · DJ · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Djibouti, 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 Djibouti
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Djibouti is an anchorage-and-barge bunker port at the southern mouth of the Red Sea. Suppliers active here — Red Sea Bunkering among them — deliver ship-to-ship and describe both offshore and onshore supply directly at the port, with round-the-clock delivery support. Seven Ocean Bunkering lists the grades as VLSFO, HSFO, LSMGO and MGO, delivered by bunker barge or by pipeline.
In practice that means most stems come off a barge, taken either offshore at anchor or alongside within the port rather than at a single dedicated bunker installation. Because the port sits on the busy Bab-el-Mandeb routing and lifts are worked to your agent's berth or anchorage allocation, fix the delivery point and confirm grade availability before arrival rather than assuming a slot on the day.
- The suppliers' pages do not publish a maximum stem size or a barge pumping rate.
- No published minimum advance-notice period for a Djibouti stem was found — ask the supplier/agent.
- The number, position and holding ground of the port anchorages are not stated on the supplier pages.
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 Djibouti, 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.
Djibouti bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Djibouti today?
- No price is published at Djibouti. The closest port where one is, is Fujairah, about 1,105 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $795 a tonne.
- Is Djibouti 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 Djibouti?
- Djibouti 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.
