Nhava Sheva bunker prices
INNSA · IN · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Nhava Sheva, 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 Nhava Sheva
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port) is India's largest container port: five container terminals plus a shallow-water berth, the BPCL liquid-cargo jetty and an anchorage. It is a box-and-liquid-bulk port rather than a bunker hub. In the port's own risk assessment the only bunkering recorded at the anchorage is high-speed diesel (HSD) supplied to ONGC's offshore vessels; no dedicated merchant fuel-oil bunker facility is described.
The approach is deep — the shared JNP/Mumbai channel is about 13.1 m (14.2 m in the outer-harbour reach), the container berths work to roughly 15 m draft and the BMCT and the liquid-cargo berth to 16.5 m, with a designated anchorage 600 m in diameter. If you need fuel oil on a merchant ship here, treat it as an arranged supply rather than a walk-up service: confirm grade, barge availability and lead time with a licensed supplier well before arrival.
- The port's risk assessment does not state a maximum bunker stem size or list licensed physical suppliers.
- It describes only HSD supply to ONGC vessels, so whether by-barge fuel-oil supply to visiting merchant ships is routinely available is not established from the source.
- Depth and holding for the 600 m anchorage circle are not given.
- No notice or permission procedure specific to bunkering is set out in the document I 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 Nhava Sheva, 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.
Nhava Sheva bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Nhava Sheva today?

- Is Nhava Sheva 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 Nhava Sheva?
- Nhava Sheva 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.
