Success Stories

Strategic Storage Solution for Major Trader

When a global trading company needed to secure 500,000 barrels of storage during a market contango situation, we connected them with a strategic terminal in Rotterdam, enabling them to capitalize on market conditions and achieve significant trading profits.

Emergency Vessel Procurement

After a logistics disruption threatened a client's supply chain, we secured an MR tanker within 48 hours, allowing them to maintain critical deliveries to their customers without interruption.

Multi-Regional Storage Network

For a growing international petroleum distributor, we established a network of storage tanks across three continents, creating a flexible distribution system that reduced logistics costs by 23% and shortened delivery times by up to 14 days.

Custom LNG Transportation Solution

When a utility company faced unexpected demand increases, we arranged specialized LNG carrier vessels on short notice, securing competitive rates despite the high-demand market. This prevented potential service interruptions that would have affected millions of customers.

Strategic Floating Storage During Market Volatility

During a period of extreme price volatility, we helped a trading consortium secure 12 VLCCs for floating storage, allowing them to store approximately 24 million barrels of crude oil. When prices stabilized, this strategic decision resulted in exceptional returns on their investment.
