Palermo bunker prices
ITPMO · IT · Emission Control Area · EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime apply
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Palermo, 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 Palermo
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Palermo are supplied by barge or truck. Q8 Quaser S.r.l. delivers via barge in Palermo (its other Italian ports covered by truck include those served from Napoli and Milazzo); products are marine fuels conforming to ISO 8217 (HSFO, VLSFO, Marine Diesel, Marine Gasoil). Giuliano Carburanti s.r.l. (Via Sambucia 17, Palermo) also provides bunkering for ships and small/medium craft directly on site. Deliveries take place at berth, anchorage or offshore roadstead per the buyer's nominated berth location; roadstead deliveries additionally require the barge master's confirmation that weather and port regulations allow offshore supply. Under Q8's general terms, working hours follow port regulations or, absent these, 08:00–17:00 on weekdays; deliveries outside these hours incur buyer's costs, an exact delivery time must be communicated, and ships arriving more than five days after stated ETA release the seller from its obligation. Buyers must provide safe mooring and promptly take delivery. Note: Palermo is within a Sulphur ECA, and EU ETS (and FuelEU) applies to voyages — Q8 confirms compliance with these regulations and offers bio-product alternatives. The Autorità di Sistema Portuale del mare di Sicilia Occidentale maintains an official register of authorised marine fuel suppliers for Palermo, downloadable from its website.

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 Palermo, 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.
Palermo bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Palermo today?
- No price is published at Palermo. The closest port where one is, is Augusta, about 103 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $779 a tonne.
- Is Palermo 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 Palermo?
- Palermo is in the EU/EEA, so voyages to, from and within it fall under the EU Emissions Trading System, and FuelEU Maritime applies to ships of 5,000 GT and above. That adds a real per-tonne cost that a headline bunker price does not show.
