Panama (Balboa) bunker prices
PAPTY · PA · Major bunkering hub
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.
How this number is made
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.

Houston →That is Houston's price, not this port's, and the distance is a great-circle estimate rather than a routed passage. It is here because a benchmark you can see the distance to is more use than a blank space.
Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 9 hours alongside.

Being listed here is not a recommendation and implies no relationship between us and the company. Whether you can buy from any of them depends on your own credit line with them, which is the real gate in bunkering and one no platform can shortcut. A supplier who wants their entry corrected or removed can write to us. data@bunkerfuelprices.com.

Indicative, delivered basis. Source: OilPriceAPI. 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.
