Genoa bunker prices

Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Genoa, 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 Genoa
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Genoa are delivered by barge and truck; at some terminals (e.g. Multedo and Fruit Terminals, and for tankers generally) delivery is by barge only. Bunkering can take place at berth or at the designated Bunker Anchorage, with anchorage allocation made by the Capitaneria di Porto (Italian Coast Guard). Suppliers typically require advance notice: Fratelli Cosulich asks for at least 48 hours written notice of scheduled delivery (excluding Sundays/holidays), and lubricant suppliers in Genoa work on 3 working days' notice with minimum truck/barge volumes around 6,500 L. Working hours are roughly 08:00–18:00; deliveries outside these hours, below notice requirements, or needing extra equipment/manpower incur extra charges, and delays of two hours or more caused by the vessel's crew trigger overtime. The buyer must provide a clear, safe berth/anchorage and make hose connections. Genoa is an ECA: VLSFO (max 0.50% S) and LSMGO (max 0.10% S) are the standard grades, with HSFO only for scrubber-fitted vessels and limited biofuel availability. EU ETS applies since 2024, so emissions reporting and allowance coordination with charterers are required.

- whether night bunkering is permitted by port authority
- weather limits for barge operations
- confirmation of Pisano Bunker / ERG / Express Bunker delivery methods
- minimum barge stem sizes for fuel suppliers
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 Genoa, 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.

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.
Genoa bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Genoa today?
- No price is published at Genoa. The closest port where one is, is Livorno, about 79 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $549 a tonne.
- Is Genoa 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 Genoa?
- Genoa 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.
