Izmir bunker prices
TRIZM · TR · Major bunkering hub · Emission Control Area
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Izmir, 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 Izmir
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Izmir is a naturally sheltered general-cargo and container port at the head of Izmir Bay, and bunkering here is a modest, road-fed business rather than a barge hub. The Alsancak agents state that most grades of marine fuel and lubricants are available by truck on 24 hours' notice, so a stem is planned to coincide with your alongside time at one of the port's berths rather than lifted at anchor. Pilotage is compulsory, taken from the Turkish authority on VHF 16 and 12, and three tugs of up to 2,500 hp are on hand. The quays run to about 3,319 m over 24 berths; the deepest reach around 13 m, which is also the working draft for boxships and Ro-Ro, while tankers are held nearer 10.5 m. There are no daylight restrictions on berthing. Izmir lies inside the Mediterranean Sea Emission Control Area, so 0.10% sulphur fuel is the working assumption. If the port is congested you wait your turn at one of the five designated anchorages.
- Neither source publishes a maximum bunker stem size.
- The sources describe truck delivery only; whether barge or ship-to-ship bunkering is permitted at the Izmir anchorages is not stated.
- No air-draft restriction for the port is published in the pages read.
- Depths at the five designated anchorage positions are not published.
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 Izmir, 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.

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.
Izmir bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Izmir today?
- No price is published at Izmir. The closest port where one is, is Piraeus, about 168 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $818 a tonne.
- Is Izmir 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 Izmir?
- Izmir 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.
