Savannah bunker prices
USSAV · US · Major bunkering hub · Emission Control Area
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Savannah, 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 Savannah
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Savannah is a river port: Garden City Terminal lies about 18 miles up the Savannah River from the sea, and bunkers come to the ship by barge alongside the berth. The operation on the public record is an LNG one — in April 2024 the articulated tug-barge Clean Canaveral put roughly 4,600 cubic metres of LNG into the 15,000-TEU CMA CGM SYMI at Garden City, working simultaneously with cargo (SIMOPS) under Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Savannah oversight, with JAX LNG, Seaside LNG and McAllister the parties. It was billed as the first LNG SIMOPS bunkering of a 15,000-TEU ship in the United States.
Two physical limits shape any call. The federal channel carries 47 feet, deepened under the harbour expansion, so draft is generous but finite. Overhead, the Talmadge Memorial Bridge fixes air draft at 185 feet for anything transiting to the terminals above it — the hard ceiling on the box ships Savannah serves. Grade, quantity and supplier are a nomination matter to settle before arrival.
- I could not confirm from an authoritative page which conventional grades (VLSFO, HSFO, MGO) are available by barge, or which suppliers work the river — only the LNG operation is documented.
- No published maximum conventional stem size was found.
- The sources give no port-authority rule specifically governing bunker-barge or SIMOPS operations beyond the single documented LNG case.
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 Savannah, 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.
Savannah bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Savannah today?
- No price is published at Savannah. The closest port where one is, is Charleston, about 74 nautical miles away — MGO at $1547 a tonne.
- Is Savannah 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 Savannah?
- Savannah 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.
