Guayaquil bunker prices
ECGYE · EC · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Guayaquil, 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 Guayaquil
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Guayaquil is a tidal river port about 10 km from the city, reached from the sea buoy by a long dredged channel. The Logistics Cluster assessment describes a 92 km access channel, maintained under a 25-year contract by Canal de Guayaquil (a Jan De Nul subsidiary), deepened from 9.5 m to 12.5 to 13 m 'with tidal benefit', with the Los Goles rock removed. That tidal benefit matters — deep-draught arrivals work the tide — and the same assessment warns bluntly that this is a natural river-type port with 'no good bottom for anchoring'.
The berths line the Guayas River: the public Sea Port (Contecon's container quays and Andipuerto's bulk terminal) and the Isla Trinitaria terminals (TPG, Bananapuerto, Puerto Trinitaria), where the assessment caps draught at 9.75 m, while conventional and container berths are dredged to about 10.5 m. Bunkers are arranged through Petrocomercial / EP Petroecuador and private suppliers and taken alongside rather than at anchor. Four harbour tugs handle berthing.
- The assessment does not state how bunkers are physically delivered (barge versus pipeline) or any maximum stem size.
- Fuel grades and availability are not detailed in the assessment.
- Pilotage rules (compulsory status, boarding point, notice) are not spelled out in the source read.
- Given the stated poor holding ground, whether any anchorage bunkering is permitted is not addressed.
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 Guayaquil, 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.
Guayaquil bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Guayaquil today?
- No price is published at Guayaquil. The closest port where one is, is Houston, about 2,109 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $680 a tonne.
- Is Guayaquil 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 Guayaquil?
- Guayaquil 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.
