Fuel Procurement And Operator Services
EN590 Diesel Procurement FOB ARA
EN590 10 ppm (ULSD) cargoes in the Amsterdam Rotterdam Antwerp hub move on tight schedules because storage, nomination windows, and vessel slots are finite.
When buyers miss the slot, they do not just miss a date. They often lose the allocation and pay more to re-enter the queue.
Financely supports buyers by coordinating allocation, terminal scheduling, independent inspection (SGS or Intertek), and documentary readiness so the chain stays controlled from tank to vessel.

and Procedure.
Professional fee:
USD 200,000 to 300,000 per cargo. Payable by bank transfer or LC at sight once inspection confirms grade and quantity.
What This Service Covers
This is a procurement and operator service built for buyers who need reliable liftings rather than brokered speculation.
The objective is simple: secure the loading window, control quality verification, and keep documents and settlement aligned with operational reality.
Allocation And Scheduling
We coordinate allocation and loading windows so nomination, tank readiness, and vessel arrival match.
In practical terms, this reduces the risk of a paper deal that fails when the scheduler asks for specifics you cannot provide.
Inspection And Documentary Control
Independent inspection (SGS or Intertek) is used to validate grade and quantity before title transfer and fee settlement.
This is the difference between a verified transaction and a dispute-driven transaction.
Operational Coordination
Vessel vetting, laytime tracking, and real-time issue handling during loading reduce slippage and demurrage surprises.
Operational control is where most “cheap offers” fail in the real world.
Compliance Readiness
Documentation and screening are handled before departure, not after problems appear.
This includes customs and sanctions screening logic appropriate to the counterparties and route.
Why Buyers Choose Financely
Buyers typically come to us after they have seen the same pattern: a “seller” promises availability, but no one can produce a credible operational plan, inspection path, or settlement flow.
We focus on controlled execution and verifiable steps.
- Tank-to-Vessel Certainty:
We coordinate the loading window and the operational sequence so allocation, tank readiness, inspection, and berthing line up.
- Operator Control:
We vet the vessel, track laytime, and work issues as they happen rather than after the fact.
- Independent Verification:
SGS or Intertek provide certificate of quantity and quality, covering density, sulphur, flash point, and cold flow properties as required.
- EU-Ready Documentation:
Movement and customs documentation, REACH-relevant data where applicable, and sanctions screening are handled before the vessel sails.
Technical Specification And Parcel Guide
EN590 is a defined European diesel standard. Buyers still need to confirm contract parameters because “EN590” is not one single lab printout.
The following table is a practical guide to common parameter references and typical parcel sizes used in FOB ARA transactions.
| Parameter |
EN590 Reference |
Typical Parcel Size |
| Sulphur |
10 ppm maximum |
25,000 to 100,000 MT |
| Density @15°C |
Typically 820 to 845 kg/m³ |
| Flash Point |
55°C minimum |
| Cetane Index |
51 minimum |
The Supply Chain Sequence In Plain Terms
The ARA market is operational, not theoretical. A refinery produces compliant batches, storage is managed under terminal rules, tanks are sealed for sampling, and a vessel must pass vetting and arrive within the agreed window.
Inspection results drive settlement confidence because they confirm the product is what the contract claims, and that the quantity aligns with the lifting documentation.
A clean transaction reads like an operations log: allocation confirmed, tank assigned, inspection completed, vessel vetted, documents prepared, loading completed, bills of lading issued, and settlement completed in the agreed sequence.
That is the execution pattern we enforce.
Why inspection matters for settlement:
A certificate of quantity and quality is not a formality. It is a decision document.
It determines whether the buyer can release funds without guessing, and it defines the reference point if a dispute ever arises.
Procurement Process
The process below is designed to reduce wasted cycles. Each step produces a concrete output.
If a counterparty cannot complete a step, the deal is not ready to proceed.
- Eligibility Review:
Buyer submits KYC, corporate profile, intended lifting parameters, and trade history where available.
- Engagement Letter:
Grade, timeline, scope, and fee schedule are agreed in writing.
For a broader overview of our services, see What We Do.
- Slot Allocation:
Loading window, terminal coordination, and nomination logic are fixed.
- Inspection:
SGS or Intertek sampling and reporting confirm grade and quantity against contract references.
- Fee Settlement:
Bank transfer or LC at sight settles the professional fee against the inspection output.
- Loading And Documentation:
We oversee operations, finalize documents, and coordinate title transfer against the cargo value settlement flow.
Buyer Readiness Checklist
Buyers who move fastest are those who show they can settle and document correctly.
“Ready” means you have the basics that allow terminals, inspectors, and counterparties to proceed without delay.
- Company registration and full KYC pack
- Target parcel size and destination
- Preferred loading window and operational constraints
