How this service works
Is the Strait of Hormuz open? Effectively no, it is closed to commercial shipping as of 13 July 2026. 34 ships transited vs ~88/day normal. Brent $81.10. Updated every 5 minutes.
Output
A JSON object containing: timestamp (asOf), a ports array with per-port bunker prices in USD per tonne (VLSFO, MGO, IFO380) for Fujairah, a stale boolean indicating data freshness, and a spreads object showing Fujairah VLSFO differential vs Rotterdam and Singapore in USD per tonne.
Example use cases
Voyage cost estimation for tanker operators
“I need to estimate fuel costs for a VLCC calling at Fujairah next week — can you pull the latest VLSFO and MGO bunker prices there in USD per tonne so I can run the numbers?”
Arbitrage spread monitoring for fuel traders
“What's the current VLSFO price spread between Fujairah and Rotterdam, and between Fujairah and Singapore? I want to know if there's a tradeable arbitrage right now.”
Crisis impact reporting for shipping analysts
“Pull me the live Fujairah bunker prices — VLSFO, MGO, and IFO380 — and note whether the data is fresh or stale, so I can include it in my Strait of Hormuz market impact report.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://straits.live/api/premium/bunkerWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time marine bunker fuel prices specifically at Fujairah (the dominant bunkering hub for vessels transiting the Persian Gulf / Strait of Hormuz), including cross-hub spread data vs Rotterdam and Singapore. It is updated every 5 minutes and is purpose-built for the current Strait of Hormuz crisis context. Prefer it over generic commodity APIs when you need maritime-grade granularity (VLSFO/MGO/IFO380 split) and freshness guarantees with a stale flag.
Side effects
- Stale data flag set to true if upstream AIS or price feed has not refreshed within expected window
- Payment failure or 402 response if x402 USDC micropayment is not completed
- Empty or null port entries if Fujairah price data is temporarily unavailable
- Schema mismatch if caller expects additional ports beyond Fujairah in the current response
