Leixoes bunker prices
PTLEI · PT · Major bunkering hub · EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime apply
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Leixoes, 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 Leixoes
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Leixoes is a landlord port run by APDL, with cargo handling concessioned to private operators; Galp Energia is the principal private partner in the liquid-bulk sector, so conventional oil bunkers are arranged through the commercial suppliers rather than the authority. The port is actively positioning itself as an LNG bunkering platform. On 20 September 2025 Molgas completed the first LNG bunkering here, delivered multi-truck-to-ship (MTTS) to the cruise yacht Ilma, and describes Leixoes as a permanent LNG supply point. LNG is therefore truck-to-ship today, not from a bunker barge. As an EU port, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime obligations attach to calls here and belong in the voyage cost. Confirm grade, delivery mode and timing directly with the supplier before fixing.
- APDL does not publish a maximum bunker stem size on its port-services pages.
- No port-authority or supplier page I could read states whether conventional VLSFO/HFO is delivered by barge or only by road tanker at Leixoes.
- LNG is documented only as multi-truck-to-ship; no LNG bunker barge or bunker vessel is published for the port.
- No bunker-specific berth or anchorage designation is published by APDL.
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 Leixoes, 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.
Leixoes bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Leixoes today?
- No price is published at Leixoes. The closest port where one is, is Huelva, about 250 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $700 a tonne.
- Is Leixoes 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 Leixoes?
- Leixoes is in the EU/EEA, so voyages to, from and within it fall under the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime applies to ships of 5,000 GT and above. That adds a real per-tonne cost that a headline bunker price does not show.
