Tivat bunker prices
METIV · ME · Emission Control Area
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Tivat, 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 Tivat
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Tivat means Porto Montenegro, a superyacht marina in the Bay of Kotor, and fuel here is a yacht-bunkering operation off the marina's fuel berth, not a commercial barge trade. The draw is duty-free diesel: under the excise exemption reinstated by decree in 2025, foreign private yachts can lift fuel free of duty at three approved locations — Porto Montenegro in Tivat, Portonovi in Kumbor and the Port of Bar.
The conditions are firm. The yacht must hold a valid vignette, must first remain in Montenegrin waters at least 72 hours — counted from the first midnight after the vignette is issued and the harbour master grants free practice — and must leave territorial waters after bunkering, though it may then return. Every duty-free lift has to be arranged through a registered local agent: submit the request at least 72 hours ahead and hold a confirmed booking 24 hours before fuelling. Prices follow government rates revised about every two weeks, and a fuel-dock usage fee may apply on top.
- Porto Montenegro's own fuel-berth length and depth alongside were not confirmed from a source readable here — the 90 m / 140 m figures found belong to Portonovi's dock, not Tivat's, and must not be carried across.
- No maximum stem size for the Tivat fuel berth is published on the pages read.
- Whether the duty-free exemption extends to commercial (non-private) vessels, and whether gasoline as well as diesel qualifies, is not spelled out.
- The sources do not state which ECA-compliant grades are stocked at the fuel berth.
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 Tivat, 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.

Indicative, delivered basis. Source: a licensed feed. 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.
Tivat bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Tivat today?
- No price is published at Tivat. The closest port where one is, is Piraeus, about 352 nautical miles away — VLSFO at $818 a tonne.
- Is Tivat 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 Tivat?
- Tivat 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.
