Oranjestad bunker prices
AWORJ · AW · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Oranjestad, 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.

Bunkers in Oranjestad are supplied by Curoil Aruba, the exclusive bunker fuel supplier on the island, working with Aruba Port Authorities and the Directorate of Shipping Aruba. Delivery is by Curoil's own fleet of barges and tankers, with inshore bunkering at the ports of Oranjestad and Barcadera and offshore supply also offered; onshore delivery by pipeline or truck is available on the ABC Islands. Service is 24/7 year-round, and ships can be served simultaneously at several wharfs, avoiding delays. Products include Marine Fuel Oil (180 and 380 cSt), Marine Gas Oil, Low Sulfur Diesel, Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil and Marine Lubricants, all ISO 8217:2012 compliant, with custom blends on request. Nominations require at least four working days' written notice specifying grades, quantities and ETA; the supply commitment holds for four days, cancellation requires at least 48 working hours' notice or penalty fees apply, and the buyer must confirm pumping rates, mooring details and vessel specifics in writing. Oranjestad is not in an Emission Control Area.

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