Freeport bunker prices

Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Freeport, 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 Freeport
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Freeport is a bunkering port in its own right, built around the Bahamas Oil Refining Company (BORCO) terminal. Per Freeport Ship Services' harbour notes, complete bunkering is provided by BORCO either at its two offshore mooring jetties or from barges, at anchor or alongside in port, and bunkers are also taken at Bunker Point Berth No. 2. So a stem can be worked alongside your berth, at the offshore jetties, or off the entrance.
Water is deep. The entrance channel carries 52.5 feet at mean low water, and the outer jetty holds up to 96 feet alongside, enough for the very large tankers BORCO handles. Inside, the turning basin runs about 32 feet at most berths, with Basin 3 shallower at 25 feet. Anchorage lies roughly 2,500 feet northwest of the entrance for about a mile and a half, sheltered from southwesterly and northerly winds over a bottom of lime and coral rock under sand. Pilotage is compulsory for nearly all vessels, and the tidal range averages only three feet, so the tide gives little help.
- The harbour notes give no maximum stem size — confirm with BORCO or your supplier.
- BORCO is named as the bunker facility, but the source names no individual barges or their capacities.
- Which grades (VLSFO, HSFO, MGO) are on offer is not stated in the page I read.
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 Freeport, 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.

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.
Freeport bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Freeport today?
- No price is published at Freeport. The closest port where one is, is New York, about 880 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $734 a tonne.
- Is Freeport 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 Freeport?
- Freeport 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.
