Mindelo bunker prices
CVMIN · CV · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Mindelo, 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 Mindelo
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkering at Mindelo (Porto Grande, São Vicente) is supplied by Empresa Nacional de Combustíveis (ENACOL) S.A. Deliveries are made by bunker tanker (vessels Olimpia and Baía) in the Porto Grande bay, with direct access to any type of vessel and mooring/unmooring service available 24 hours a day; shore deliveries are made by tanker truck, and yachts can fuel at the ENACOL station in Marina Mindelo. Products are MGO (DMA, max 0.1% sulphur) and a full range of fuel oil, meeting ISO 8217:2010 and MARPOL Annex VI Regs 14 and 18. Mindelo is not in an ECA. Operations are governed by the Cape Verde Bunkering Regulation, which requires a licensed supplier, a pre-delivery bunker requisition form signed by the Chief Engineer and Bunker Officer, a safety checklist, a Bunker Delivery Note, and supervision by a Bunkering Superintendent appointed by the Maritime Authority; the Chief Engineer and Bunker Officer are jointly responsible for the operation and sampling.

The working behind the estimate above.
Those are prices at those ports, not at Mindelo, 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.
Mindelo 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.

- Mindelo 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.
