What we trade

We deal in physical cargo, not paper exposure. Every product line below is traded against independent inspection at load port and, where the material calls for it, a second assay on discharge.

Bulk parcels from West and Southern African, South American and Asian producers, shipped to mills and smelters.

  • Manganese, chrome, iron ore
  • Bauxite and copper concentrate
  • Draft survey and grade analysis

Natural rubber

Container programmes out of Southeast Asia and West Africa on monthly or quarterly contracts.

  • TSR 10 and TSR 20 block
  • RSS sheet, latex concentrate
  • Specification per ISO 2000

Petroleum & products

Refined product parcels with full quantity and quality certification at load port.

  • Gasoil, jet fuel, fuel oil

Mine-to-refiner movements with documented chain of custody at every hand-off.

How a trade works

The same five stages apply whether the cargo is a container of rubber or a bulk parcel of ore. Nothing moves to the next stage until the one before it is documented.

  1. Origination

    We confirm the producer, the grade and the real availability of a parcel before any offer leaves the desk.

  2. Contract

    Specification, tolerance, laycan, basis and payment terms fixed in writing, priced against a published index where one exists.

  3. Inspection

    An independent surveyor takes quantity and quality at load port. Their certificate governs, not the seller's.

  4. Shipment

    Freight, insurance, customs and bonded storage arranged, with the cargo tracked through to discharge.

  5. Settlement

    Documents presented against the agreed instrument, with quality adjustments settled on the discharge assay.

Working with us

Most deals fail on paperwork rather than price. These are the conditions we hold on both sides of a trade, and we expect counterparties to hold us to them in return.

Know your counterparty

Corporate documents, beneficial ownership and banking references before an offer is exchanged. Sanctions and PEP screening runs on every party to the contract.

Proof before procedure

No trading on unverifiable proof of product or soft probes. If a seller cannot evidence title and availability, or a buyer cannot evidence funds, the file closes.

Responsible sourcing

Mineral and precious metal supply traced to origin, aligned with refiner due-diligence standards. We decline material we cannot audit.

Instruments

Documentary and standby letters of credit, documents against payment, and cash against documents for established relationships.

Logistics

Chartering for bulk parcels, container freight, inland haulage at origin, and customs clearance through both desks.

Confidentiality

Counterparty identity, pricing and terms stay between the parties to the deal, and it is written into our mandates.

Offices

Two desks, placed where the cargo and the paperwork actually meet: North American buyers and finance on one side, Gulf, African and Asian origination on the other.
