Santo Tomas de Castilla bunker prices
GTSTC · GT · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Santo Tomas de Castilla, 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 Santo Tomas de Castilla
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkering is available at Santo Tomás de Castilla (GTIZ4), a multipurpose government-run terminal on Guatemala's Caribbean coast with compulsory pilotage and tug assistance. Suppliers listed include Clipper Oil, offering MGO, VLSFO and HSFO plus lubricants (Chevron, Gulf, Mobil, Shell, Total), and Petrototal, S.A., which imports, distributes and stores bunker products (Fuel Oil 6, IFO 380) with 300,000 gallons of storage at its Zacapa plant and its own ministry-licensed truck fleet, suggesting truck delivery. Note that the port authority prohibits refuelling within port premises under ISPS rules, so stems are typically arranged outside the wharf or via supplier logistics — confirm exact delivery mode with the supplier. Guatemala is not in an ECA, so low-sulphur fuels are required only per IMO global 0.50% limits. Port operations run three shifts Monday to Friday. Nomination lead times and barge availability are not published and should be confirmed directly.

The working behind the estimate above.
Those are prices at those ports, not at Santo Tomas de Castilla, 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.
