Taking fuel at Gothenburg
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Gothenburg handles bunkering in its Energy Port and runs it as a controlled operation. The port offers conventional fuels plus LNG, methanol and biofuels, with bunker and berth-planning notices tied to berths 512–518. Every bunker barge working inside the harbour and in the anchorage areas outside the harbour limit must meet the port's "Green Bunkering" requirements: annual inspections by authorised independent inspectors, and prior vetting by an oil major under OCIMF's SIRE programme, with the port's own officers free to spot-check a barge alongside. The requirement covers oil, LNG and slop/sludge barges alike, and crew directly involved in bunkering must hold the required e-learning certificate.
Simultaneous operations carry extra rules: if the receiving ship is loading or discharging a low-flash cargo (flash point ≤30 °C), the bunker barge's deck equipment must be ATEX-approved within the ATEX zone and separately certified before the SIMOPS bunker is allowed. Remember Gothenburg lies inside the SECA and that EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime apply, which shape fuel choice as much as any berth rule.
- The bunkering page does not publish a maximum stem size or a barge pumping rate.
- It does not name the physical suppliers operating in the port or their vessel-size limits.
- The detailed LNG and methanol operating regulations are provided only as downloadable PDFs (dated 2019 and 2023) that were not read here, so their specific limits are unconfirmed.
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.

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.
Gothenburg bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Gothenburg today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Gothenburg (SEGOT) for each grade we track, updated daily. These are market indications, not offers — the price you pay depends on quantity, delivery window, specification, your payment terms and your credit position with the supplier.
- Is Gothenburg a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Gothenburg was showing $853/MT for VLSFO. Whether that is genuinely cheap for your vessel depends on deviation: reaching a port that is $10/MT cheaper is not a saving if it costs a day of charter hire and the fuel burned getting there.
- Does EU ETS apply at Gothenburg?
- Gothenburg 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.
