How a deal runs
Five steps, in this order.
- 01Inquiry
Tell us the cargo
Product, quantity, destination, Incoterm and payment instrument, through the Bulk Energy Inquiry.
- 02Buyer documents
ICPO and BCL
Your ICPO on company letterhead, signed and stamped, and a bank comfort letter. NCNDA and IMFPA where intermediaries sit in the chain.
- 03Verification
Both sides checked
We verify the buyer (KYC, registry, bank letter) and the seller (registry, FCO, proof of product, trade references).
- 04Offer
FCO and specification
Only then the seller’s signed FCO and the product specification, with an independent quality certificate.
- 05Loading
Inspect, then pay
SGS (or equivalent) inspection at the loading port; payment under LC, SBLC or DLC against the documents.
Our rules
How our desk works
- 01No deal without the producer or title holder named and verified in its registry; no chains of mandates.
- 02No upfront fees from buyers.
- 03KYC and sanctions screening on both sides before any document is exchanged.
- 04Proof before paper: proof of product is checked with the tank, terminal or inspector named on it.
- 05Independent inspection at the load port (SGS, Intertek or similar), appointed by the buyer.
- 06Bank-to-bank payment: a confirmed letter of credit or equivalent instrument, verified between the banks.
- 07ICPO is a step, not a deal: we do not forward soft offers or unverified FCOs.
- 08Our compensation is disclosed in the contract, never hidden in the price chain.
