Taking fuel at Port Said
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Port Said bunkers in two places. Inside the west harbour are three petroleum-service berths, 31 to 33, 575 m of quay at 3.6 m depth, plus four barge-and-tug berths, 7 to 10. Inchcape describes that inner-harbour alongside supply as having run on a very limited scale, the bigger business now at the outer anchorage, served by a licensed physical supplier with barges able to sail out. That anchorage is the canal waiting area between 31 21' N and 31 25' N, a northern section for deep-draught vessels and a southern for all types, where ships lie for the north convoy, cargo, provisions and bunkers. Inchcape lists HSFO at max 3.5 per cent sulphur, VLSFO 0.5 and MGO 0.1; Minerva lists the same three grades.
SCA rules cost money. Not cancelling a booked Port Said bunkering berth six hours before arrival is 600 dollars; shifting berth or anchorage in the Port Said Anchorage Area without SCA authorisation is 10,000. Pilotage anchorage-to-port is compulsory, charged on Suez Canal net tonnage: 150 to 650 dollars by day, 200 to 1,000 by night. A medium-danger tanker gets an outer-harbour berth, bunkering and water supply only, and SCA Harbour Master's permission comes first.
- No source publishes a maximum or minimum stem size for Port Said, either at the petroleum-service berths or at the outer anchorage; Inchcape states no quantities at all.
- No barge pumping rate or expected time alongside is published for the outer-anchorage supply, so a large stem cannot be planned from public information.
- There is no public list of the licensed physical bunker suppliers at Port Said; Inchcape names none and the port authority page carries no supplier directory.
- Where the bunker barges are based, and how long they take to reach the outer anchorage, is not stated on any page read.
- Neither the port authority nor the SCA publishes a notice period for arranging a bunker-only call - only the six-hour cancellation deadline.
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.

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.
Port Said bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Port Said today?
- The table above shows the latest indicative prices at Port Said (EGPSD) 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 Port Said a cheap bunkering port?
- At the last update Port Said was showing $757/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 Port Said?
- Port Said 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.
