ENERGY & COMMODITIES

Global commodities, bank-to-bank procedure.

As agents, we represent our US/Spain sister company across four premium commodities for buyers worldwide. Petroleum Coke is supplied with a minimum sulphur content of 4.3%, suited for cement kilns and industrial energy applications. Every transaction is conducted exclusively through a strict bank-to-bank procedure: no third parties, no intermediaries, complete financial traceability at every step.

Diesel EN590 (ULSD)10 ppm Sulphur · CIF/FOB
ICUMSA 45 SugarRefined White · 45 RBU · CIF/FOB

For a firm, committed offer, we ask prospective buyers to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) together with their specifications (including grade, sulphur content for Pet Coke, purity for ICUMSA 45, and delivery terms). All financial flows are executed strictly bank-to-bank — no cash, no third-party agents. Full documentation (SGS inspection, certificate of origin, bill of lading) is released against a monetizable bank instrument (DLC) following a signed contract.

TRADE CORRIDOR

Asia & Africa, one single flow.

Our four commodities — Pet Coke, Diesel EN590, ICUMSA 45 Sugar and Urea 46% — move through a single corridor connecting high-growth Asian and African markets, with rigorous FOB/CIF and bank-to-bank execution at every step.

Bulk carrier vessel loading at port — commodity export
Asia Any port, including Shanghai, Busan, Bangkok, Mumbai…
Africa Any port, including Lagos, Tunis, Casablanca, Algiers…
Pet Coke Cement & metallurgy · FOB
EN590 ULSD 10ppm diesel · CIF/FOB
ICUMSA 45 Refined sugar · CIF/FOB
Urea 46% Agricultural fertilizer · CIF/FOB

Asia and Africa are among our priority markets, with strong structural demand for Pet Coke and diesel in Asia, and for urea and refined sugar across West Africa and the Maghreb — without our network being limited to these regions. Our team based in Tunis coordinates the commercial operations for these flows.
