Taking fuel at New York
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers at New York/New Jersey are delivered by barge, with barge movements working between New York Harbor, Newark Bay, and the Kill Van Kull; deliveries occur both at berth and at designated anchorages (Stapleton, Gravesend Bay, Ambrose anchorages, Bay Ridge). The port lies inside the North American ECA, so demand is dominated by low-sulphur grades (VLSFO, LSMGO/MGO; HSFO with scrubber). Nomination is typically 3-4 days. Bunkering/lightering vessels must display a red flag by day (illuminated at night), and lightering requires Captain of the Port permission with at least four hours' notice; vessels must notify VTS New York (VHF Ch 12) before starting and after finishing lightering/bunkering operations, and maintain a watch on Ch 16 while anchored. Vessels over 800 ft LOA or 40 ft draft must notify VTS at least 48 hours before entering Ambrose Channel. Weather rules apply: at sustained 25 kt winds only one barge alongside for bunkering; gale conditions (34 kt) suspend all bunkering and lightering. Winter nor'easters and summer thunderstorms can disrupt operations.

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.
New York bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at New York today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at New York (USNYC) 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 New York a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update New York was showing $798/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 New York?
- New York 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.
