Visakhapatnam bunker prices
INVTZ · IN · Major bunkering hub
Arithmetic on the 6 nearest ports where a price was observed, weighted by distance. Nobody has quoted this at Visakhapatnam, 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 Visakhapatnam
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
At Visakhapatnam the physical delivery is done by barge operators the Port Authority licenses individually, and the Authority publishes the current list on its own site. As it stands, four are named: Gayatri Marine Services, Kan Enterprises, Supreme Marine Tankers Pvt. Ltd., and Four Square Shipping & Logistics. If a supplier offering you a stem here is not one of these, or not fronting for one, treat that as a flag and check before you fix.
Because the port controls the licence, the practical route to a clean delivery is to work through a listed operator and let it clear the barge movement with the harbour side.
The Authority's bunker page names the operators but stops there. It does not say whether stems are pumped at anchorage or alongside, which grades are held, or the largest stem the port's barges can manage, so confirm all three with the operator before you commit.
- The Port Authority's bunker page does not state whether bunkering is done at anchorage or alongside a berth.
- It does not publish the fuel grades available.
- It does not publish a maximum stem size.
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 Visakhapatnam, 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.
