Salalah bunker prices
OMSLL · OM · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Salalah, 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 Salalah

Salalah's bunkering runs through APM Terminals' partner Fujairah Engineering Co. (FECO), which supplies both vessels calling the port and ships passing en route. Per the terminal, FECO delivers LSMGO and VLSFO by the 3,420 DWT barge Sea Dweller and can also put gasoil onto berths by road tanker; it draws on the port's 100,000 MT liquid-fuel tank farm and can supply while a ship is alongside or at anchor. Any bunkering, repair or provisioning must be communicated to the Port of Salalah Planning Department at least 48 hours before arrival and is only allowed after the port's approval, subject to its safety and security procedures. The port's container-terminal guidelines are explicit that these activities must not delay stevedoring and should finish inside the vessel's operational working time; only in exceptional cases will cargo work be stopped or port time extended for them. In short, nominate early, expect the stem to fit around cargo, and confirm grade availability with FECO rather than assuming.
- The container-terminal operational guidelines set no maximum bunker stem size, so the stem ceiling must be established with FECO.
- The terminal page lists LSMGO and VLSFO but not HSFO; HSFO availability is not confirmed in the sources read.
- Neither the APM bunkering page nor the port guidelines state whether anchorage bunkering is suspended during the June-September southwest monsoon.
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 Salalah, 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.
Salalah bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Salalah today?
- No price is published at Salalah. The closest port where one is, is Fujairah, about 502 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $795 a tonne.
- Is Salalah a cheap bunkering port?
- 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.
- Does EU ETS apply at Salalah?
- Salalah 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.
