Who Uses Marine Diesel Price Data?

Shipping Companies

Automate bunker adjustment factors (BAF) and fuel surcharge calculations after confirming the source, port, grade, and update cadence needed by the planning system.

Bunker Traders

Monitor price spreads across ports. Build trading algorithms only after licensing, data fields, history, and cadence are reviewed for the specific workflow.

Fleet Operators

Optimize bunkering decisions across your fleet. Compare prices at different ports to minimize fuel costs.

Simple Integration

Get marine diesel prices in seconds

Python
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/latest",
    params={"by_code": "MGO_05S_SGSIN_USD"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Token YOUR_API_KEY"}
)

data = response.json()
mgo_price = data["data"]["price"]
print(f"Singapore MGO: {mgo_price} USD/MT")
cURL
curl -X GET \
  "https://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/prices/latest?by_code=MGO_05S_SGSIN_USD,VLSFO_SGSIN_USD,HFO_380_SGSIN_USD" \
  -H "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_KEY"

# Several codes return an array under data.prices:
# - MGO_05S_SGSIN_USD (Marine gas oil, Singapore)
# - VLSFO_SGSIN_USD (Very low sulphur fuel oil, Singapore)
# - HFO_380_SGSIN_USD (HSFO 380, Singapore)
# Other ports use the same pattern, e.g. VLSFO_NLRTM_USD (Rotterdam)

Frequently Asked Questions

What marine fuel prices does the API provide?

OilPriceAPI can support MGO, VLSFO, HSFO, and IFO workflows where the chosen source, port, grade, history, and cadence are confirmed. What you may do with the data is governed by its source, never by your plan: we hold no rights in it and grant none.

How often are marine diesel prices updated?

Update cadence and history depend on the source, port, grade, and plan. Check returned timestamp/source fields and confirm the exact data path before production use.

Can I use the API for fuel surcharge calculations?

Yes, marine fuel data can support internal surcharge and BAF workflows after the exact source, ports, grades, and cadence are confirmed. Rights in the data come from its source, never from your plan — we hold none and grant none.

What is the difference between MGO and VLSFO?

Marine Gas Oil (MGO) is a distillate fuel with very low sulphur content (<0.1%), typically used in emission control areas. Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) has a maximum 0.5% sulphur content and became the global standard after IMO 2020 regulations.
