Petroleum commodity desk — East Asia × GCC
Active brokerage mandate for diesel and Jet A-1 volumes between East Asian suppliers and GCC off-takers. Mandate exceeds 150,000 metric tons across two tranches, structured under sealed counterparty agreements with bank-led payment instruments.
Regional friction
- Multi-jurisdictional counterparty verification before any term sheet moves
- Payment-instrument selection — irrevocable LC, SBLC, or performance bond — dependent on tranche structure
- Inspection regimes (SGS / Intertek), loading-port logistics, and laycan negotiation
- Spec discipline across tranches: Gasoil 10 ppm, Jet A-1 DEF STAN 91-091
Approach
- A01Pre-qualified counterparty shortlist drawn from existing GCC trading network.
- A02Structured RFQ with locked product specs, tested against current platform pricing.
- A03Payment-guarantee structures negotiated in parallel with logistics to compress lead time.
- A04Joint review of each cargo allocation before any executed lift.
Output
Active mandate. 150,000+ MT of diesel and Jet A-1 in progress across two tranches.
