Manzanillo bunker prices
MXZLO · MX · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Manzanillo, 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 Manzanillo
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Manzanillo has 19 berthing positions, 14 commercial, three for hydrocarbons and two for cruise, in a 437-hectare port area entered through a channel 16 m deep and 744 m long with 150 m navigable width. ASIPONA lists fuel and lubricant supply among the services to vessels, alongside pilotage, towage, launch service and water. The only hydrocarbons terminal in its list of installations is PEMEX Refinación, at 27,933.29 m².
Read the supplier list carefully. The directory heading is Servicio de Suministro de Combustibles y Lubricantes, fuels and lubricants in one category, and the five names under it are Navalmex Combustibles, Abastecedora de Combustibles del Pacífico, Lubtrac, Servicios Integrales Marítimos y Portuarios and Mextra. Those are not five bunker barges: Servicios Integrales Marítimos y Portuarios also appears in the same directory under mooring, hazardous-waste collection, and repair and welding.
Navalmex is the one publishing a slate: MGO DMA at 0.05 per cent sulphur, IFO 180 and IFO 380 at 3.5, VLSFO 180 and VLSFO 380 at 0.50. Its equipment page gives a national fleet of two tankers, two barges, four tugs and four road tankers working both coasts, with nothing allocated to Manzanillo, so ask what is actually on station.
- ASIPONA publishes no maximum stem size, barge capacity or pumping rate for bunkering at Manzanillo.
- The official alongside draughts, Calados Oficiales del Puerto, are published only as a scanned PDF with no extractable text, so berth-by-berth draught could not be read.
- Navalmex does not say which of its two tankers, two barges, four tugs or four road tankers are stationed at Manzanillo, or whether it works the anchorage as well as alongside.
- Nothing read states which of the five directory entries actually supply marine fuel rather than lubricants only.
- No source read gives a notice period, or says whether bunkering may run simultaneously with cargo work.
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 Manzanillo, 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.
Manzanillo bunkering FAQ

- 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.

- Manzanillo 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.
