Refined products for blenders, power and industrial users, cement kilns and manufacturers.
Alongside bitumen and sulfur, Gulf refineries produce a wide slate of products that industry depends on. Our petroleum desk supplies base oils to lubricant blenders, fuel oil and gasoil to power and industrial users, petroleum coke to cement kilns and aluminium smelters, and wax to manufacturers.
Liquids move as parcels on product tankers, in ISO tanks and flexitanks, or in drums. Coke ships in bulk. Every lot is tested by an independent laboratory against the agreed standard, and we work only with licensed refineries, terminals and storage operators.

Most refused presentations under a letter of credit come down to a handful of avoidable mistakes. Knowing the rules in UCP 600 is the cheapest insurance a trader can buy.
