TSA -- [ Bunker Charge Calculator ]

Bunker Charge Calculator

To assist customers in tracking and forecasting upcoming charges, weekly average marine fuel prices are posted at right. Averages are weighted to reflect marine and shoreside diesel fuel purchased at key loading ports for the transpacific markets, as well as relative fuel consumption patterns across the TSA membership.

The Bunker Charge for a given month is based on a weighted average of weekly fuel prices during the one-month period ending 30 days prior to the effective date. This allows for adequate notification of scheduled adjustments to the market. As an example, a scheduled adjustment of the charge to take effect on May 1 is based on a averaging of fuel prices over the month of March. Weekly prices for a two-month period are provided so that users over time will be able to forecast the coming adjustment and verify the current one during a given month.

Also posted at right is the Fuel Price-Bunker Charge Conversion Table from TSA’s Bunker Charge fact sheet. By 1) Averaging the weekly fuel price totals to date; and 2) applying that average to the conversion table, users can easily get a sense of price trends and likely charge adjustments for the next month. A fully complete, accurate calculation of the next adjusted charge requires averaging of prices across all 4 weeks.

More detailed instructions for tracking world marine fuel prices, and a description of how listed prices are weighted and averaged for purposes of calculating charge levels, are available in the full Bunker Charge Fact Sheet found elsewhere in this section.
