Fort-de-France bunker prices
MQFDF · MQ
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Fort-de-France, 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 Fort-de-France
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Fort-de-France (MQFDF) are delivered by truck and ex-pipe (180/380 cSt), not by barge. Caribbean Fuels supplies MGO (DMA, 0.1% S), HSFO/VLSFO ex-refinery and lubricants (Shell, Castrol, Total), with multi-compartment trucks delivering virtually any quantity. Ex-pipe deliveries are restricted to vessels with max LOA 130 m and max draft 7.5 m. Supply is available at berths including the Cruise Terminal (Berths 1–2), Grand Cargo Quay, Hydrobase (North/South), Pointe des Grives Container Terminal, Pointe Simon Jetty, Quai des Tourelles and Port du Marigot. TotalEnergies Lubmarine provides lubricants in packs by truck (no minimum volume), with a 2-working-day notice; bulk/barge delivery is unavailable. Lubmarine operations run Monday–Friday, unrestricted hours, but out-of-hours deliveries, short notice, extra equipment/manpower and crew-caused delays attract extra charges. Martinique is not in an ECA, so IMO global 0.5% S applies. Contact suppliers for current price indications.

The working behind the estimate above.
Those are prices at those ports, not at Fort-de-France, 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.
