How fresh is this data?

Latest benchmark record: Jun 22, 2026, 12:18 AM UTC

Marine fuel benchmarks update on business days, following the upstream bunker assessment schedule. Each record carries its own timestamp and source field, so your application always knows exactly when a port-grade price was last refreshed.

A price can look “quiet” simply because the market has not moved: bunker assessments often hold steady across consecutive sessions. An unchanged value is not stale data — check the record's timestamp to confirm the most recent assessment. There are no weekend or public-holiday assessments, so the newest record may carry the prior business day's date.

Example: the latest Rotterdam VLSFO benchmark (VLSFO_NLRTM_USD) on this page was last refreshed Jun 22, 2026, 12:18 AM UTC from shipandbunker. Open a port page below to see the live timestamp for every grade.

Port and grade availability can vary by source. Read the returned code, source, created_at/updated_at, and port metadata before making freshness or spread decisions.

Built for bunker procurement workflows

Search traffic for marine fuels is usually tied to a practical job: compare ports, validate a supplier quote, update a voyage model, or feed a maritime dashboard. These are the workflows this route should capture.

Port spread checks

Compare VLSFO, MGO, and HSFO prices across Singapore, Rotterdam, Fujairah, Houston, Antwerp, and Hong Kong before nominating a bunker port.

Supplier quote validation

Use source timestamps and port-grade codes to reconcile bunker invoices, supplier quotes, and internal price benchmarks.

Historical route economics

Pull historical port-grade prices to measure route-level fuel exposure and compare actual lift prices against market movement.

API Features

Global Coverage

Access marine fuel prices from 8 major bunkering ports covering all major shipping routes worldwide.

Real-Time Updates

Use recurring ingestion and response timestamps to determine whether a port-grade value has moved or simply remained unchanged at the source.

Historical Data

Query historical marine fuel prices by port and grade for procurement analysis, route economics, and bunker spread monitoring.
