Tanger Med bunker prices
MAPTM · MA · 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 Tanger Med, 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 Tanger Med
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Bunkering at Tanger Med is a barge operation run by Minerva Bunkering as subcontractor to HTTSA, working a fleet the port describes as seven barges of 6,700 tons each. You can take fuel in three places: inside the port complex itself, and at the two anchorages the port calls Tanger Med West, on the Strait side ahead of the port, and Tanger Med East, to its east. The two anchorages together handle the large majority of the volume and offer up to sixteen anchor points, which is what lets the port stem the mega-boxships and car carriers calling here.
The grades on offer are the IMO-2020-compliant range. Mind the regulatory floor: since May 2025 the whole Mediterranean is a sulphur ECA with a 0.1% m/m limit, so inside it you must be on 0.1% fuel or a compliant alternative.
The port's page does not publish a maximum stem or a minimum notice period; set both with Minerva/HTTSA when you fix.
- The port's bunkering page does not publish a maximum stem size.
- It does not state a minimum advance-notice period to book a barge.
- It does not break down which grades (MGO/VLSFO/HSFO) are held at each of the three delivery zones.
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 Tanger Med, 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.
Tanger Med bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Tanger Med today?
- No price is published at Tanger Med. The closest port where one is, is Algeciras, about 15 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $773 a tonne.
- Is Tanger Med 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 Tanger Med?
- Tanger Med 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.
