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.

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, cadence, and usage rights are confirmed.

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, cadence, and usage rights are confirmed.

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.
