The Method

One Transaction Path, From First Enquiry To Settlement

Every transaction follows the same path: a written enquiry, screening in both directions, terms on the company's paper, independent inspection and payment through banks against documents.

The Journey

One Cargo, Origin To Discharge

01
Origin

The Cargo Taken Aboard

Loaded and certified at the port the contract names.

02
Voyage

The Cargo Under Way

Carried on a vessel whose record anyone can check.

03
Discharge

The Cargo Landed And Measured

Received, measured and certified at destination.

The Enquiry

Everything Starts With A Written Enquiry

An enquiry names the product or grade, the quantity and unit, the delivery basis, the destination and the window. The desk answers in writing, with a firm offer or a clear decline. Nothing moves by telephone alone.

Before Any Term

The Screening Runs Both Ways

Before terms are discussed, a file is built on each side: registry, licensing, ownership and sanctions lists. The company's own particulars are sent on request.

The Offer

Terms Live On The Company's Paper

A dated offer on the company's letterhead states the specification, the quantity, the delivery basis, the pricing basis and the payment terms on its face.

The Documents

A Cargo Is Its Documents

Every shipment moves inside a documented chain: the transport document, the certificate of quality against the governing standard and the independent inspector's certificates. Each document can be tested by the party receiving it, and every document the company issues carries the transaction's one reference.

The Ship

No Cargo Boards An Unchecked Ship

Before a cargo is loaded, the vessel's Equasis inspection record and its P&I cover are read. The same checks apply to every vessel, chartered or nominated.

The Close

Payment Against Documents, Through Banks

Payment moves through banking channels against the named documents, under UCP 600 where a documentary credit is used. Final invoicing ties to one file under one reference.

Step By Step

The Enquiry

Product, quantity and destination are named in writing; the desk answers in kind.

The Written Offer

A dated offer on the company's paper, plain terms, nothing implied.

04

Contract Signed

A Sale and Purchase Agreement states delivery basis, pricing and payment on its face.

05

Independent Inspection

Quality and quantity certified at the point the contract names.

06

Documents Through Banks

Payment moves through banking channels against the named documents.

07

Delivery

The cargo travels under the agreed basis, on the agreed schedule.
