Operating solely or as an active partner, we have the necessary expertise to realise the potential of a wide range of specialised products.

We have vast experience to strike a balance between monetary exchange and product competitiveness.
FUTURE MARKET
Our activities in trading of physical cargoes of crude oil and petroleum products are to a large extent centred on the company on cash markets. The company’s expansion involves the ability to hedge and assume positions in the future markets to eliminate or reduce the risk associated with a current or anticipated cash market position. Since the spot cargoes and future prices tend to move in parallel directions, a loss in one market is ordinarily offset by gain in the neutralising impact of price fluctuations. Strategically, our investment in expatriates on the field yields a positive result, as the company functions as consultant to various companies in Oil and Gas industry with less experience in the field. The company is well placed to take advantage of frequent imbalance in price between the products and crude oil by trading the differentials on the markets. The decision to take positions in this area is based on our knowledge of how products have reacted in the past, and up to date information acquired on the world-wide physical market.
