How fresh is this data?
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.
