Bunkering at Mersin
Mersin is the main Turkish port of the East Mediterranean and a natural bunkering stop for tonnage working the Levant, Egypt and East Med container and bulk trades. Deliveries are made by barge at the anchorage or alongside during cargo operations at the container and general cargo berths.
The East Mediterranean is inside the SOx ECA in force since 1 May 2025, so 0.10% grades apply while sailing in the Med. Supplier depth is smaller than Istanbul's, so securing the stem a little earlier — especially for larger distillate quantities — tends to pay off.

Frequently asked questions
Is bunker-only calling worthwhile at Mersin?
Mersin stems are usually combined with cargo calls; for a pure bunker stop, comparing against Piraeus or Istanbul on your specific rotation is a sensible check. Live quotes across the ports make that comparison concrete.
How early should I nominate?
For standard quantities 48 hours is typically sufficient. For larger LSMGO stems — more in demand since the Med ECA — earlier nomination widens the pool of barges able to serve you.
How do I get a firm price?
This page shows no estimate: our weekly port estimate covers the major bunkering ports only, and the weekly benchmark alone does not track prices here closely enough.
