Ushuaia bunker prices
ARUSH · AR · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Ushuaia, 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 Ushuaia
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers at Ushuaia are supplied by YPF S.A., whose Terminal Orion plant (Perito Francisco Moreno 606) stores and dispatches marine fuels, including Marine Gas Oil, to vessels at the port, with its own Muelle Orion facility. Puerto Ushuaia is a provincial, public-use commercial port on the north shore of the Beagle Channel, serving cruise ships, fishing vessels, scientific ships and naval vessels, all of which take fuel alongside. Deliveries are coordinated by YPF under high-complexity logistics, often in extreme weather with strong winds and low temperatures; YPF also supplies marine lubricants. Coastal Petroleum Argentina SA also advertises supply of all bunker grades at Ushuaia year-round, round the clock, using tankers, bunker barges and tank trucks. Ushuaia is NOT in an Emission Control Area, so standard IMO global sulphur limits (0.50% sulphur) apply rather than 0.10% ECA limits. Exact notice periods, designated bunkering areas and any port-authority night/weather restrictions could not be confirmed from public sources.
- required nomination/notice period
- delivery method per supplier (barge vs truck vs pipeline)
- designated bunkering areas/anchorage spots
- night delivery limits
- weather/wind operational limits
- port-authority bunkering regulations
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 Ushuaia, 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.
Ushuaia bunkering FAQ
- What is the bunker price at Ushuaia today?

- 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.
