Port Detail
ARA bunker hub
Antwerp is part of the ARA price-discovery zone, with deep supplier competition and reliable physical availability across all major grades. Spreads to Rotterdam are typically tight (within $5/MT) for VLSFO.
Petrochemical cluster
Antwerp hosts Europe's largest integrated chemical cluster — Total, ExxonMobil, BASF, Borealis, INEOS all operate refining or petrochemical complexes here. This supplier depth translates to reliable physical product.
LNG and biofuel pioneer
Antwerp is a leading European port for alternative-fuel bunkering. Bio-VLSFO and B30 blends are routinely available, and LNG-bunker barge operations are well-established for ULCV-class tonnage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Antwerp compare to Rotterdam for bunker?
Pricing tracks closely (within $5/MT typically). Choice is driven by routing and cargo schedule — vessels calling either port for cargo will normally bunker there.
Is Bio-VLSFO regularly available?
Yes — Antwerp has strong Bio-VLSFO availability with B24 and B30 blends backed by certified Proof of Sustainability documentation for EU ETS / FuelEU treatment.
