Trading, brokerage and advisory under one roof.
Some clients need a cargo delivered. Others need the right supplier found, or a procurement strategy designed. We do all three, and we tell you which one you are buying.
Energy trading
CAEN 4681, 4685
As principal, we buy product from the producer and sell it to you, taking title, price risk and responsibility for delivery.
You contract with one EU-registered company. We arrange the vessel, cargo insurance, inspection and documentation, and deliver on the terms you choose. You receive one invoice and one set of shipping documents.
- Spot cargoes and term contracts from one month to several years
- Pricing fixed, or floating against Platts and Argus benchmarks
- Delivery FOB, CIF, CFR, DAP or DES, by sea, rail or truck
- Storage and blending arranged at partner terminals
- Payment by documentary letter of credit, standby letter of credit or bank guarantee
Brokerage
CAEN 4612
As agent, we introduce qualified buyers to producers and refiners, and negotiate on your behalf until the contract is signed and the first cargo lifts.
Brokerage suits buyers who prefer to contract directly with the producer. Our commission is agreed in writing in advance and disclosed to both parties. We do not act for both sides of the same transaction without the written consent of each.
- Producer and refinery introductions for crude, products, gas and chemicals
- Counterparty due diligence before introduction
- Negotiation of price, specification, delivery and payment terms
- Support through contract signature and first delivery
Advisory
CAEN 7020
We advise public authorities and companies on how to buy energy: what to buy, from whom, on what terms and at what price.
Advisory mandates are independent of our trading book. When we advise on a tender, we do not bid in it.
- Procurement strategy
- Demand forecasting, spot versus term mix, storage and reserve policy.
- Tender design
- Technical specifications, qualification criteria, contract templates and evaluation models for public tenders.
- Supplier assessment
- Financial, operational and integrity due diligence on bidders and existing suppliers.
- Price risk management
- Benchmark selection, price formulas and hedging strategies for fuel budgets.
- Market intelligence
- Regular briefings on supply, freight and price trends for budget holders and boards.
