Funchal bunker prices
PTFNC · PT · Major bunkering hub · EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime apply
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Funchal, 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 Funchal
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
At the Port of Funchal, bunkers (HFO and AGO/MGO) are supplied to vessels alongside by the authorized supplier, delivered either by pipeline or by truck, with pricing linked to international market values via Repsol or Galp. Delivery takes place at berth on the port's piers (North Terminal Pier 6 and South Terminal Piers 2 and 3, drafts of 8.0–10.0 m); no confirmation was found of barge deliveries or anchorage stems. Fresh water is also available via pier connections. LNG (GNL) can be supplied to berthed cruise ships via cryogenic container trucked from the Socorridos storage facility (which is itself fed from Sines); this arrangement was approved for AIDA vessels and assessed as cost-neutral by ERSE. Bunker trading services are locally available from Fratelli Cosulich Unipessoal (Marine Energy), based in Funchal. Funchal is NOT in an ECA, so no low-sulphur fuel restriction applies beyond global 0.50% sulphur rules; EU ETS applies to calls here. Contact the port authority or your agent for nomination lead times and night/weather limits.

The working behind the estimate above.
Those are prices at those ports, not at Funchal, 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.
Funchal bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Funchal today?
- No price is published at Funchal. The closest port where one is, is Las Palmas, about 283 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $761 a tonne.
- Is Funchal 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 Funchal?
- Funchal is in the EU/EEA, so voyages to, from and within it fall under the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime applies to ships of 5,000 GT and above. That adds a real per-tonne cost that a headline bunker price does not show.
