Taking fuel at Krishnapatnam
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers at Krishnapatnam are delivered by barge-to-ship at anchorage or alongside dry-bulk berths, by pipeline at the dedicated POL jetty (tanker-class vessels), or by truck-to-ship for smaller LSMGO/HSD stems. VLSFO, HSFO, LSMGO, MGO and HSD are available; GST is 5%. Vessels must send a nomination to the port for acceptance prior to arrival, and pre-arrival declaration documents (including a Bunker CLC certificate) must be submitted. Advance nomination of 5–7 days is recommended for large stems to align barge rotation with vessel schedules. The port grants up to 24 hrs normal berth hire for vessels calling only for bunkers/repairs (layup hire applies beyond 24 hrs), and no layup berth hire is charged while receiving bunkers, provided no vessel is waiting for the berth and no maintenance is planned. Service requests (freshwater, chandelling, etc.) must be made at least 12 hrs before sailing during office hours. Krishnapatnam is NOT in an ECA — 0.50% sulphur VLSFO applies for most callers; scrubber-fitted tonnage may take HSFO. 18.5 m draft accommodates Capesize vessels at deepwater berths.

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.
Krishnapatnam bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Krishnapatnam today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Krishnapatnam (INKRI) 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 Krishnapatnam a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Krishnapatnam was showing $1185/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 Krishnapatnam?
- Krishnapatnam 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.
