how we work
our method, in depth
A disciplined sequence
We manage each mandate through a clear, step-by-step sequence that removes ambiguity and keeps operations on track. From scope and counterparty checks to survey planning, chartering and closure, every stage is defined in advance and actively supervised. The result is predictability, speed and a clean documentary trail—delivered through the seven steps below.
1
Mandate & scope. We confirm the product, spec window, volume, delivery window, port/terminal preferences and the fee model.
2
Counterparty & documents. We check title and capacity signals, exchange KYC highlights and align on sanctions requirements. We draft and agree the operational procedure—no vague “soft POPs.”
3
Tank nomination. We shortlist options, confirm suitability and availability, secure slots and orders for movement, and agree any pre‑tank checks.
4
Survey plan. We appoint an independent surveyor, define sampling/testing and chain of custody, and align report formats with the finance instrument.
5
Chartering. We nominate barge/tanker with a laycan that fits tank readiness; we specify pumping‑in/out and berth constraints.
6
Execution. We supervise the timeline, collect statements of facts, and adjust in real time when conditions change.
7
Closure. We deliver inspector’s certificates, B/L and attestations, reconcile numbers, and prepare a final statement with any demurrage/loss notes.
Your role and ours
You own the commercial decision and the instrument of payment; we orchestrate operations, keep the parties coordinated and maintain documentation quality. We prefer to agree responsibilities in a short RACI so that everyone knows who does what and by when.
Pricing (transparent by design)
For most briefs we combine a limited retainer (to cover initial work and hold capacity) with a success‑based brokerage fee upon closing the transaction. Everything is written, with no surprises.
