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.

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?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Guayaquil (ECGYE) 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 Guayaquil a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Guayaquil was showing $976/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 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.
