Taking fuel at Pipavav
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers at Pipavav are delivered barge-to-ship at berth or anchorage, or truck-to-ship for smaller distillate stems (LSMGO/MGO); standard grades are VLSFO, HSFO, LSMGO and MGO. Fuel is not available locally in port and is arranged via barge sourced from Mundra/Kandla. For container vessels, bunkering alongside concurrent with cargo operations is the normal mode. Nominate the vessel, ETA, grade and quantity — suppliers require roughly 48–72 hours' lead time from nomination. Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels, and vessels must submit an Inward Pilot Memo on arrival at the anchorage; anchorage fees apply if it is not submitted. Fresh water is supplied only by road tanker (or by port tug at anchorage with 24 hours' notice). Pipavav is NOT inside an ECA — VLSFO (0.50% S) suffices for sea transits; LSMGO/MGO are for auxiliary or distillate-only needs. GST of 5% applies to bunker fuel; Bunker Delivery Notes are issued MARPOL Annex VI compliant.

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.
Pipavav bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Pipavav today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Pipavav (INPAV) 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 Pipavav a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Pipavav was showing $974/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 Pipavav?
- Pipavav 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.
