Fort Lauderdale bunker prices
USFLL · US · Emission Control Area
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Fort Lauderdale, 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 Lauderdale
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Fort Lauderdale's harbour is Port Everglades, and it sits inside the North American Emission Control Area, so vessels must be on ECA-compliant low-sulphur fuel; plan the changeover before arrival. The port is first and foremost a petroleum import and distribution hub: tankers land roughly 12.5 million gallons of refined products a day into the shoreside terminals, and road tankers then load about 8,000 to 12,000 gallons each to supply stations across twelve counties. Seventeen petroleum terminal and pipeline companies operate inside the port under state and federal rules and the port's own tariff.
For ships, marine bunkering is barge-based, and LNG bunkering by barge to cruise ships is now established here. Suppliers list barge, truck and pipeline delivery, with marine diesel among the grades.
What is not published on the pages I read: the exact ECA sulphur cap figure, per-berth petroleum assignments, a maximum stem, or a notice period, so take the compliance figure from MARPOL/USCG and the stem from your supplier.
- The exact ECA sulphur cap figure is not stated on the port pages I read.
- Per-berth or per-slip assignments for petroleum and bunker operations are not published.
- No maximum stem size for marine bunkers is published.
- No nomination or advance-notice period is published.
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 Fort Lauderdale, 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 5 hours alongside.

Indicative, delivered basis. Source: a licensed feed. 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.
Fort Lauderdale bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Fort Lauderdale today?
- No price is published at Fort Lauderdale. The closest port where one is, is Houston, about 832 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $680 a tonne.
- Is Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale?
- Fort Lauderdale 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.
