Suez bunker prices
EGSUZ · EG · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Suez, 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 Suez
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Suez (Port Tawfiq and Port Ibrahim) sits at the southern entrance of the Suez Canal, on the northern tip of the Gulf of Suez, and is essentially a stem-only stop tied to canal transits. Most vessels bunker while waiting for transit at the canal's south anchorage; Dan-Bunkering lists delivery here as available at berth, at anchorage or offshore, and physical supply is by barge.
Grades follow the canal-area pattern of HSFO up to 3.5% sulphur, VLSFO up to 0.5% and MGO up to 0.1%. The heavier grades are thin: Integr8 counts one supplier offering VLSFO at Port Suez against two for HSFO and four for LSMGO, so plan a heavy stem early and confirm the grade before committing. One routine option brokers use — a southbound vessel can bunker at Port Said outer anchorage before the transit and avoid dropping anchor at Suez afterwards, saving canal-side time and charges.
- Could not confirm from a Suez Canal Authority source whether bunkering during the canal transit itself is permitted or prohibited.
- No published maximum stem size or barge flow rate for the Suez south anchorage.
- Beyond 'south anchorage', the specific anchorage designation used for Suez bunkering is not named on the pages read.
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 Suez, 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.
Suez bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Suez today?
- No price is published at Suez. The closest port where one is, is Port Said, about 78 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $772 a tonne.
- Is Suez 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 Suez?
- Suez 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.
