Taking fuel at Philadelphia
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Philadelphia (Delaware River, Pennsylvania) are delivered by barge and truck; Ankora Fuels supplies ISO 8217:2017 certified MGO and ULSMGO via its time-chartered barge and trucks at all accessible berths, terminals, and anchorages 24/7/365. Dan-Bunkering (New York office) advises on berth suitability and available delivery methods at the port, which is served by the Packer Avenue and Tioga Marine Terminals. Lubmarine supplies lubricants at Philadelphia with 3 working days notice (bulk or pumped drums/IBC, minimum 4000 L per product; 5 days for mixed orders), working days Monday–Friday 07:00–15:00; deliveries below minimum volume, outside working hours, or on short notice incur extra charges. As a bulk oil transfer, bunkering does not require advance USCG notice, but is prohibited in sustained winds of 35 knots or greater; vessel-to-vessel lightering (not bunkering) at Big Stone Anchorage or upriver requires 4 hours advance notice to Sector Delaware Bay, with COTP approval for upriver transfers. Philadelphia lies within the North American ECA, so compliant low-sulphur fuel (0.10% S) applies.

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.
Philadelphia bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Philadelphia today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Philadelphia (USPHL) 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 Philadelphia a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Philadelphia was showing $872/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 Philadelphia?
- Philadelphia 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.
