About Average Prices

Global Average Bunker Price is the linear average of all Ship & Bunker price indications for each fuel grade on a given day.

Global 4 Ports Average is, for each grade of fuel, the linear average of Singapore, Rotterdam, Fujairah, and Houston, which together represents approximately 25% of global bunker volumes.

Global 20 Ports Average is, for each grade, the linear average of the following 20 major global bunkering ports, that together are responsible for a significant proportion of global volumes: Busan, Colombo, Durban, Fujairah, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Houston, Istanbul, LA/Long Beach, Las Palmas, Mumbai, New York, Panama, Piraeus, Rotterdam, Santos, Shanghai, Singapore, St Petersburg, Tokyo.

All prices are quoted in USD $ per metric tonne.

Terminology

Biofuel: Biofuel is a VLSFO biofuel blend, B24 in Singapore (24% biofuel) and typically a B30 (30% biofuel) elsewhere.
Brent: Brent prices are converted from USD/bbl to USD per metric tonne at a rate of 7.53 barrels per metric tonne.
EUA: EUA is the price in Euros for 1 (one) EU Emissions Allowance (EUA).
EUA-USD: EUA-USD is the USD price for 1 (one) EUA converted at the prevailing exchange rate.
EUAHSFO: EUAHSFO is the total EUA cost to offset 1 (one) metric tonne (mt) of HSFO. This price takes into account for 2024 ship owners pay only 40% of the full costs incurred, 70% in 2025 and 100% in 2026.
EUAMGO: EUAMGO is the total EUA cost to offset 1 (one) metric tonne (mt) of MGO. This price takes into account for 2024 ship owners pay only 40% of the full costs incurred, 70% in 2025 and 100% in 2026.
EUAVLSFO: EUAVLSFO is the total EUA cost to offset 1 (one) metric tonne (mt) of VLSFO. This price takes into account for 2024 ship owners pay only 40% of the full costs incurred, 70% in 2025 and 100% in 2026.
IFO380 & IFO180: IFO380 & IFO180 are Max 3.5% Sulfur Bunkers (RME, RMF, RMG, RMH, RMK, etc).
LNG: LNG is the USD price for one metric tonne of LNG.
LNG-380e: LNG-380e is the price for an amount of LNG that delivers the energy equivalent of one metric tonne of IFO380 bunker fuel.
LNG-MGOe: LNG-MGOe is the price for an amount of LNG that delivers the energy equivalent of one metric tonne of MGO.
LS180 & LS380: LS180 & LS380 are Max 1.0% Sulfur Bunkers.
LSMGO: LSMGO is Max 0.10% Sulfur Distillate (DMA, DMZ) for Compliance with 2015 ECA Regulations.
MDO: MDO is Max 1.50% Sulfur Distillate (DMB).
MEoH: MEoH is the price per tonne of pure conventional / grey methanol.
MEoH-MGOe: MEoH-MGOe is the price for a quantity of methanol that delivers the same amount of energy as one metric tonne of MGO.
MEoH-VLSFOe: MEoH-VLSFOe is the price for a quantity of methanol that delivers the same amount of energy as one metric tonne of VLSFO bunker fuel.
MGO: MGO is, unless otherwise specified, a Max 1.50% Sulfur “Clear and Bright” Distillate (DMA, DMZ, etc).
SS: SS is the ‘scrubber spread’ — the premium for 0.50%S VLSFO over >0.50%S HSFO. The spread is the price differential between the two fuels before their respective half dollar rounding, with the resulting spread then rounded to the nearest half dollar.
ULSFO: ULSFO is Max 0.10% Sulfur Fuel Oil for Compliance with 2015 ECA Regulations.
VLSFO: VLSFO is Max 0.5% Sulfur fuel (Also known as IMO2020 grade bunkers).
WTI: WTI prices are converted from USD/bbl to USD per metric tonne at a rate of 7.62 barrels per metric tonne.
