Puerto Cortes bunker prices
HNPCR · HN · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Puerto Cortes, 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 Puerto Cortes
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Puerto Cortes is Honduras's main Caribbean gateway; its supplier's own material calls it the largest and busiest seaport in Central America, and bunkers reach ships here by barge. The established operator, Bay Island Petroleum (BIP), works the port from a small fleet: its largest barges, BIP MAR I and BIP MAR II, carry 680 and 420 tonnes, the latter pumping about 125 tonnes an hour, backed by the smaller ZEAL TIDE (350 t) and SOUTH TIDE (115 t) at roughly 47 to 62 tonnes an hour. Those parcel sizes and pump rates mark this as a port for modest stems delivered slowly, not fast cape-scale lifts.
Marine gas oil is the mainstay; product listed for the port also includes high-sulphur fuel oil and ULSD, and the delivery options shown are barge, pipeline and truck. Plan on a barge alongside at the berth.
- No published maximum bunker stem size for Puerto Cortes was found.
- No dedicated bunkering anchorage or barge working-hour limit was found in the sources read.
- BIP's own page does not break grade availability down by port, so exactly which grades load at Puerto Cortes is not confirmed there.
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 Puerto Cortes, 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.
Puerto Cortes bunkering FAQ

- 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.

- Puerto Cortes 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.
