Ensenada bunker prices
MXESE · MX · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Ensenada, 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 Ensenada
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Ensenada is Baja California's deep-water commercial port, but as a bunkering call it is a modest one oriented to fishing and coastal trades. ASIPONA Ensenada, the SEMAR-run port authority, lists fuel (combustible) and lubricants among its authorised port services, alongside marine-product discharge pumps — confirming that supply is sanctioned, though it does not publish on that page how bunkering is rationed or where it may take place.
One supplier active here, Clipper Oil, lists barge, pipeline and truck as delivery modes and, for Ensenada specifically, publishes marine gas oil (MGO) as the marine fuel on offer, together with ULSD, LPG and LNG; it describes its business around longline fishing boats and the local tuna processing plants, which points to small stems rather than deep-sea fuel-oil parcels. Treat residual-fuel availability as something to confirm supplier by supplier before relying on this port for a large stem.
- The port authority's Reglas de Operación — the document that would set anchorage and bunkering rules and any stem limit — is published only as a 311-page scanned image PDF that yielded no readable text today.
- No maximum stem size is published.
- Reliable availability of VLSFO or HSFO residual grades at Ensenada is not confirmed by the sources read; one supplier lists only MGO as the marine fuel for this port.
- Whether bunkering is permitted at anchorage or only alongside is not stated on the authority's service page.
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 Ensenada, 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.
Ensenada bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Ensenada today?
- No price is published at Ensenada. The closest port where one is, is Long Beach, about 140 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $895 a tonne.
- Is Ensenada 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 Ensenada?
- Ensenada 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.
