What is the bunker price at Houston today?

The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Houston (USHOU) 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 Houston a cheap bunkering port?

At the last update Houston was showing $680/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 Houston?

Houston 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.

Only 0 observations in the last 72 hours. We publish an assessment from 3 or more.

The prices below come from a licensed market feed. Our own assessment is a separate figure, built only from what we observe here — prices suppliers submit to us, quotes received against requests raised here, and stems that close. It appears once there is enough of our own data to stand behind.

How this number is made

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.

Being listed here is not a recommendation and implies no relationship between us and the company.

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.
