Compliance first, for both sides of every deal.

Before any deal moves forward, every counterparty is checked. Our compliance routine protects suppliers and buyers alike, and it applies from first contact to final delivery.

  • Sanctions screening: OFAC, UN & EU lists
  • Anti-bribery & anti-corruption
  • Anti-money-laundering controls

Documentation kit

Every deal runs on a standard, recognized document set, prepared to the international frameworks that inspectors, shipowners and counterparties already work with.

Our standard documents

  • KYC questionnaires
  • Letter of intent / purchase order
  • Firm offer
  • Sale & purchase agreement
  • Bill of lading, certificates of origin, quality and quantity
  • Confidentiality agreement, where required

International frameworks

  • Industry-standard contract forms (e.g. GAFTA / FOSFA for agri)
  • ICC, LCIA or trade-association arbitration

Logistics & quality

Vessel, cargo and port, checked before loading.

We coordinate chartering, independent inspection and port checks for each shipment, so vessel, quality and quantity are confirmed before the cargo moves.

Vessel nomination, laycan and loading terms coordinated for each shipment.

Independent inspection

Independent surveyors such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek verify quality and quantity at the load port.
