Bunkers & Rates

Public data only. A delivered bunker price and a container spot rate are both subscription products; where a number is not public we say so instead of estimating it.

For the port-side operational picture — water levels, marine warnings and Federal Register notices — see the Port Ops Board.

Natural gas (LNG bunker input) 2.898 +11.38% USD/MMBtu Oct 30, 16:59 ET

Brent, ULSD and natural gas are public futures quotes. ULSD is a distillate proxy read on the direction of marine gas oil — it is not a VLSFO or IFO380 bunker price, and it is labelled as a proxy. A real bunker assessment requires a subscription (Ship & Bunker, S&P Global Platts, Bunkerworld), so we publish the proxy and name the gap rather than invent a delivered bunker number.

Quotes are delayed public data from Yahoo's public chart endpoint, grouped so an operator reads its peers together — carriers, bulk and tanker owners, forwarding and inland logistics, port equipment and crane makers, and the OT and cyber vendors terminals actually buy from. Nothing here is a rate index; container and bunker indices are subscription-only and are listed below. The scrolling tape at the top of every page carries the same quotes; its speed slider is yours to set.

A delivered bunker price and a container spot rate are the two numbers this industry most wants and the two least available for free. We could print a plausible figure; we would rather print nothing. If you have a subscription to any of the indices above, that is where the real number lives — and when a rate story breaks, it is on the Cargo & Carriers desk.

Fuel context, straight from the US government: EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report · EIA Today in Energy feed. The ULSD series is a distillate proxy for marine gas oil and is labelled as such — it is not a VLSFO or IFO380 bunker assessment. Marine fuel assessments themselves (Ship & Bunker, S&P Global Platts) are subscription products and are named above rather than guessed at.
