Rotterdam
Today's bunker prices and supply insight for Rotterdam, Europe's largest bunkering port.
Bunkering in the Port of Rotterdam
Rotterdam is Europe’s largest bunkering hub and the second-largest in the world, after Singapore. The port sits on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands, at the heart of northwest Europe’s shipping network. Together with Amsterdam and Antwerp, it forms the ARA hub, whose bunker prices act as benchmarks for the wider region.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority manages the port and is jointly owned by the Municipality of Rotterdam and the Dutch State. Dedicated crude terminals and pipelines supply several major refineries in the port area, giving Rotterdam a deep and reliable supply of marine fuels.
Since 1 January 2026, mass flow meters (MFMs) have been mandatory for fuel oil, marine diesel and biofuel deliveries in Rotterdam, with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges applying the same rule. MFMs record the exact quantity of fuel delivered. They aim to prevent quantity disputes and make Rotterdam bunker deliveries more transparent. Rotterdam also offers a full range of port services. Ships can arrange crew changes, repairs and supplies during the same port call.

Rotterdam Bunker Prices Today
Rotterdam supplies all the main marine fuel grades, including ultra low sulphur fuel oil. The port lies within the North Sea Emission Control Area, where vessels must burn fuel with no more than 0.10% sulphur.
- VLSFO: Very low sulphur fuel oil is readily available for vessels operating without scrubbers. The Rotterdam VLSFO price is a key reference point for northwest Europe.
- HSFO: High sulphur fuel oil is Rotterdam’s best-selling grade, driven by demand from scrubber-fitted vessels. The Rotterdam HSFO price usually trades at a discount to VLSFO.
- MGO: Marine gas oil is in strong demand, as vessels need it to meet the Emission Control Area sulphur limit. The Rotterdam MGO price is typically the highest of the three grades.
