MGO Price API
Evaluate marine gas oil observations alongside bunker fuel specifications, port context and source timestamps.
Dataset overview
MGO stands for marine gas oil, a distillate marine fuel used in port operations and auxiliary engines. Check the fuel sulfur specification and applicable operating requirements before selecting a grade.
MGO workflows should preserve port, grade, sulfur specification, unit, source, and timestamp. The same price value can mean different things depending on where and how the marine fuel assessment is sourced.
API paths to evaluate
GET /v1/prices/latest?by_code=MGO_05S_USDLatest MGO 0.5 percent sulfur benchmark value when supported by the selected package.
GET /v1/bunker-fuels/all?grade=MGOBunker fuel endpoint filtered to MGO-style grades where port coverage is available.
What teams get
Marine gas oil context
Use marine gas oil reference material to interpret grade, unit and source differences.
Maritime context
Explains how MGO relates to bunker fuel, VLSFO, HFO, and emission control workflows.
Port and grade metadata
Encourages production teams to store metadata so MGO values are not detached from source context.
API examples
Includes current price and bunker-fuel endpoint examples for engineering evaluation.
Procurement-ready links
Links to maritime bunker, fuel specifications, and pricing pages for commercial visitors.

Frequently asked questions
What is MGO?
MGO is marine gas oil, a distillate marine fuel also described as marine diesel in many shipping workflows. It is cleaner and easier to handle than heavy fuel oil.
Is MGO the same as bunker fuel?
MGO is one bunker fuel grade. Bunker fuel is the broader category and can include HFO, VLSFO, MGO, and other marine fuels.
Does OilPriceAPI provide MGO prices by port?
OilPriceAPI supports marine fuel endpoints where coverage is available. Port and grade coverage can vary by source and package, so confirm the exact code before production use.
Where should I go after this page?
Use the marine gas oil prices guide for details, then review bunker fuel prices, fuel oil specifications, docs, and pricing.
