Modeled fuel demand (Oxford/NERC, 2024, OGL v3)

Modeled baseline demand in tonnes of heavy-fuel-oil equivalent per year, estimated from 2019 AIS vessel movements for trips of 1,000 km or more, with each trip's fuel assigned to its port of origin. It is a model output, not reported bunker sales and not a price. Large bunkering hubs typically sell more fuel than this model assigns them.

UN sub-region: Western Asia
Modeled baseline fuel demand: 284 kt HFO-equivalent per year (0.13% of the model total)
Rank by modeled demand: #188 of 1,363 ports; #19 of 81 in Western Asia
Modeled demand by vessel type: Container 36% · General cargo 24% · Dry bulk 19% · Tanker 16.3% · RoRo 4.7%
