Taking fuel at Honolulu
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Honolulu is the principal container gateway for the Hawaiian islands, and the harbour also handles dry and liquid bulk, breakbulk, passenger and fishing vessels. Bunkering here reads as a shore-fed operation rather than a barge market. The physical supplier we can document, Clipper Oil, moves product by pipeline and by road tanker, which ties your stem to a berth and to truck access rather than to a barge coming alongside.
On grades, Clipper lists marine gas oil, ultra low sulphur diesel, a B20 biodiesel and Jet A-1. Brokers describe the wider area as also carrying VLSFO and high sulphur fuel oil, so if you need residual fuel confirm both the grade and the delivery method with the supplier before you fix. Nothing we read published a maximum stem or a fixed notice period, so treat both as supplier-set and ask early, particularly if you want fuel while working cargo on a tight berth window.
- Neither supplier page we read publishes a maximum stem size for Honolulu.
- We could not confirm any barge-alongside or at-anchorage bunker delivery; the documented methods are pipeline and truck to the berth.
- Residual grades (VLSFO/HSFO) are listed only as area-typical by a broker, not confirmed on the physical supplier's Honolulu page.
- The Hawaii DOT harbour-control rules (Chapter 42) were not accessible, so any fuel-transfer permit requirement is unconfirmed.
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.

San Francisco →That is San Francisco's price, not this port's, and the distance is a great-circle estimate rather than a routed passage. It is here because a benchmark you can see the distance to is more use than a blank space.
Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 8 hours alongside.
