Baltic Exchange has enhanced its market data offering with the expansion of its Daily Bunker Report, providing members with reliable, up-to-date marine fuel price indications to support effective voyage planning and time charter equivalent (TCE) calculations.

Originally launched in January 2022, the Bunker Report has grown from a weekly to a daily publication, now delivering price assessments five days a week for High-Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO), Very Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), and Marine Gas Oil (MGO) across seven key global ports: Rotterdam, Houston, Singapore, Fujairah, Gibraltar, Panama, and Zhoushan.

Compiled using contributions from six respected bunker brokers and traders; Cockett Marine, Island Oil, KPI OceanConnect, Monjasa, Nautical Supply International, and Transparensea Fuels, the report offers a clear snapshot of real-time market conditions. It provides valuable insight for owners, charterers, brokers, and operators making critical fuel purchasing decisions, preparing voyage plans, or negotiating charterparty terms.

“In an industry where bunker costs can represent a significant proportion of voyage expenses, access to timely and accurate pricing is crucial,” said Matthew Cox, Benchmark Production Head at Baltic Exchange. “Our members can use these prices as a reference point for a range of commercial decisions, from contract negotiations to resolving disputes around fuel consumption claims.” 

While similar data can carry a significant cost elsewhere, the Baltic Bunker Report is provided free of charge to Baltic Exchange members as part of the organisation’s commitment to delivering valuable market insights.

Though not yet a formal index, the report offers trusted price indications from active market participants on key Baltic routes. It also complements the Baltic Exchange’s wider suite of tools, including the ETS Allowance Price Report, FuelEU Maritime Calculator, and Fuel Equivalence Converter, designed to support informed decision-making in a complex and evolving regulatory landscape.

Members can access the Bunker Report via the ‘Market Data’ section of My Baltic on the Baltic Exchange website and app. Those without an individual login can register at no extra cost if their company already holds a Baltic membership.

Baltic Exchange continues to welcome feedback from members to shape the future development of its bunker reporting services. For more information or to share your input, contact balticbroker@balticexchange.com.
