Khor Fakkan bunker prices
AEKLF · AE · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Khor Fakkan, 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 Khor Fakkan
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Khor Fakkan is a container port and an exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah on the UAE's east coast, facing the Gulf of Oman and geographically ringed by the Emirate of Fujairah — so it is reached without transiting the Strait of Hormuz, close to the Fujairah bunker roads.
Bunkers here are taken at anchor rather than alongside: physical suppliers deliver to ships lying in the Khor Fakkan anchorage, working under a local Sharjah supply licence — Fast Bunkering, for instance, began anchorage supply in 2023 through its licensed local partner East Wind FZE. Keep Khor Fakkan and Fujairah distinct when you fix a stem; they are separate anchorages under separate authorities. Because the Sharjah Ports Authority's own port rules were not reachable, confirm the exact anchorage, permitted grades, barge and any advance-notice requirements directly with your supplier and agent.
- The Sharjah Ports Authority's own port and bunkering rules were not reachable (site blocked), so anchorage limits, permitted operations and notice requirements are unconfirmed.
- No maximum stem size is published in the sources I read.
- The exact delivery mode (barge type/capacity) and the full grade slate at Khor Fakkan specifically were not established from a primary source.
- Whether any bunkering alongside the container terminal is possible is not established.
- Which suppliers besides Fast Bunkering/East Wind FZE currently hold local licences was not confirmed from a primary source.
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 Khor Fakkan, 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.
Khor Fakkan bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Khor Fakkan today?
- No price is published at Khor Fakkan. The closest port where one is, is Fujairah, about 13 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $795 a tonne.
- Is Khor Fakkan 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 Khor Fakkan?
- Khor Fakkan 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.
