Energy commodity trading operates on strict lifting schedules and massive capital requirements. When your refinery allocation is ready, you cannot wait weeks for a traditional bank to approve a Letter of Credit.
We arrange dedicated trade finance facilities for mid-market petroleum and energy traders. As a core component of our structured trade finance placement services, we construct the transaction architecture to isolate risk. Across crude oil, diesel, gasoline, and natural gas, we syndicate your request directly to alternative funds capable of issuing the required MT700 or MT760 instruments without 100% cash collateral.
We arrange capital specifically designed for the complexities of FOB and CIF petroleum logistics. We secure facilities based on the underlying energy asset and your end-buyer exit contracts.
We secure the issuance of Documentary Letters of Credit (DLC) from top-tier institutions to satisfy refinery requirements. We structure the facility to release payment only upon successful product injection or vessel loading.
For traders with scheduled monthly liftings, we structure revolving SBLCs that automatically renew, ensuring uninterrupted supply chains for long-term allocation contracts.
We factor in the cost of tank farm extensions, TSA (Tank Storage Agreement) guarantees, and vessel chartering into the capital stack, ensuring you have the liquidity to physically move and store the product.
Whether you are buying FOB Rotterdam or delivering CIF Houston, we structure bridge financing to cover the freight, insurance, and gap time before your end-buyer processes their final MT103 payment.

We structure DLC and SBLC-backed facilities for crude cargoes across major grades and hubs, including FOB Rotterdam, CIF Houston, and Fujairah. Facilities are secured against the underlying cargo, the bill of lading, and your end-buyer SPA.
Diesel allocations move on tight lifting windows. We arrange non-cash-collateralized DLCs that release payment only against proof of injection or vessel loading, keeping your working capital free for the next lifting.
Gasoline trades demand fast execution against allocation windows. We syndicate directly to alternative energy lenders, cutting committee timelines and structuring the credit around your buyer contracts and the physical cargo.
LNG and LPG transactions carry longer tenors and heavier logistics. We build the facility around the cargo, the charter party, and the terminal arrangements, using SPV structures to isolate risk from your balance sheet.

Petroleum trade finance requires absolute precision. We begin by analyzing your supplier Corporate Offer (FCO), your end-buyer SPA, and your logistics framework (TSA or CPA). We structure the necessary legal safeguards, draft the transactional credit memo, and immediately distribute the request to our active network of alternative energy trade lenders. We manage the dialogue from initial presentation to the final term sheet negotiation.
Send us the preliminary details of your petroleum trade or required instrument. We review all submissions to confirm viability and alignment with our syndicate before issuing a formal advisory engagement contract.
Submit Your Deal DetailsWe execute transactions across the major energy asset classes, primarily focusing on crude oil, diesel (EN590 10PPM), gasoline (92/95 RON), Jet A1, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
Yes. We are highly accustomed to structuring facilities around major global hubs, including Rotterdam, Houston, Fujairah, and Singapore, factoring in localized tank farm and injection logistics.
Given the high capital requirements of fuel trading, we generally target a minimum face value of USD 10,000,000 per transaction or monthly revolving facility.
We charge a flat, upfront advisory retainer to cover the extensive financial engineering, SPV architecture, memo preparation, and active market syndication required to secure a term sheet for uncollateralized petroleum trades. This retainer includes our standard conditional refund guarantee.
