Maputo bunker prices
MZMPM · MZ · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Maputo, 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 Maputo
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Maputo takes bunkers by barge, and CPG Bunkering holds the concession. Under the exclusive agreement the port announced in 2022, fuel is delivered ship-to-ship, either at anchorage or alongside at a berth within the Maputo Port jurisdiction, on a 24-hour basis; the port's announcement names the chartered barge Monjasa Performer and lists two grades — VLSFO and low-sulphur marine gasoil (LSMGO) — to ISO 8217 and MARPOL. CPG's own account adds that its barges carry multiple segregations so all major grades can be worked, and that a stem may be taken at berth while you work cargo, or at safe anchorage in the vicinity of Buoy 6, an anchorage it describes as well protected from oceanic swell.
That is the practical shape of it: you can bunker without breaking your cargo call, or run out to the Buoy 6 anchorage. Neither the port nor the supplier publishes a maximum stem size or a firm nomination lead time, so settle both with CPG when you fix.
- Neither the port nor the supplier publishes a maximum stem size.
- No nomination or notice lead time is published on either page.
- The barge named on the port's 2022 page (Monjasa Performer) may since have changed; the current fleet and its capacities are not published on the pages read.
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 Maputo, 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.

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.
Maputo bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Maputo today?
- No price is published at Maputo. The closest port where one is, is Fujairah, about 3,363 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $795 a tonne.
- Is Maputo 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 Maputo?
- Maputo 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.
