Cadence depends on the source and grade. Each timestamp above is the latest API observation for that grade, not the page render time. An unchanged value alone does not establish freshness. For the marine gas oil benchmark itself, see MGO 0.5%S price.

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.

Port in the model: Rotterdam, Netherlands
UN sub-region: Western Europe
Modeled baseline fuel demand: 3.13 Mt HFO-equivalent per year (1.43% of the model total)
Rank by modeled demand: #5 of 1,363 ports; #1 of 52 in Western Europe
Modeled demand by vessel type: Tanker 42.7% · Container 40.3% · Dry bulk 10.4% · General cargo 5.9%

What is the Rotterdam bunker price today?

Rotterdam delivered bunker assessments as of 2026-11-13: VLSFO $743.5 per metric ton, MGO 0.5%S $1,281.0 per metric ton. The hero card above carries the source timestamp for each grade.

What is the VLSFO–MGO spread in Rotterdam?

MGO 0.5%S is trading $537.5 per metric ton above VLSFO in Rotterdam as of 2026-11-13. The spread is what a vessel pays to burn distillate instead of residual fuel, and it widens when gasoil tightens relative to fuel oil.

How often are Rotterdam bunker prices updated?

Assessments are published on business days and each figure carries its own source timestamp. The page shows the latest record time next to the prices; nothing is extrapolated between assessments.

How do I get Rotterdam bunker prices by API?

Call /v1/prices/marine-fuels/latest?port=NLRTM with an API key. The response lists each fuel grade with price, currency, unit and timestamp, and the same endpoint serves the other ports we cover. The API Access tab on this page has the exact request and response shape.
