Seven specialized desks, structured for institutions.
Each division operates with dedicated leadership, regulatory infrastructure and analytics — converging when a mandate requires multi-asset structuring.
Hydrocarbons
Strategic intermediation across crude oil, middle distillates and LNG — connecting producer-state national oil companies with European refining gateways and Asian regasification hubs.
We operate as principal intermediary across the energy value chain: vessel chartering and demurrage management under BIMCO terms, inspection regimes (SGS · Intertek · Bureau Veritas), Incoterms 2020 risk-transfer modeling, and bonded-storage operations across Fujairah, Rotterdam-Antwerp-Amsterdam, and Singapore's Jurong Island. Every transaction is built on Tier-1 letters of credit, performance bonds, and continuous sanctions screening.
