Auto gasoline at the top of the column, petroleum coke at the bottom, and polypropylene film downstream of both. Every grade is quoted against its technical data sheet, and each shipment moves through the Caspian ports.

01

The whole range,
in the order it boils.

Ten product families, ordered from the lightest draw at the top of the column to the heaviest residue at the bottom. Open any row for its grades and data sheet.

02

Ten specimen
plates.

Two published figures on each plate, both taken from the producer's sheet. The full table sits one click behind.

03

Every sheet,
side by side.

Each figure is quoted as issued, with its sheet number beside it. A grade without a sheet in hand shows On confirmation. We don't publish a plausible guess, because a buyer's inspector holds us to every number on this page.

Specification matrix: published figures by grade
Defining figure

Units follow the sheet: sulphur in mass % (ppm in brackets), flash point in °C, density at the sheet's reference temperature.

04

Where each cut
goes to work.

The end uses the producer names for its own grades, from An-2 aircraft to greaseproof paper.

05

Four ports,
one corridor out.

Cargo leaves the Caspian basin through four ports. Which one a lot moves on depends on the grade, congestion and the destination lane, and it is agreed per shipment.

Schematic, not to scale.

Per-port draft, berth count and load rate are not published. A buyer sizes a vessel against a load rate, so publishing an unconfirmed one is worse than publishing nothing.

Carriage

Five ways it moves.

ISO tank

Liquid chemicals in 20 ft tank containers. Dedicated or last-cargo-certified depending on the grade.

Bulk vessel

Handysize and supramax for full cargoes. Where tonnage justifies it this is the cheapest freight per tonne by a wide margin.

Containerised

20 ft and 40 ft boxes, bagged or lined for bulk. Preferred where schedule reliability matters more than freight rate.

Big bag

One-tonne FIBCs, four-loop, with liner where the grade is hygroscopic. Handles on the same gear at both ends.

Break bulk

Bagged or palletised cargo loaded piece by piece. The default for big bags and 50 kg sacks where no container service serves the lane.

Terms

Incoterms 2020: who bears what, and where risk passes.

These are the published rules, not our own terms, which is why this table can be published while the port figures cannot.

What travels with the cargo.

Which of these a shipment carries depends on the destination and the payment terms.

Title to the goods, issued on loading. Original or telex release as the payment terms require.

Attested by Dubai Chambers. Required for preferential duty and for most letters of credit.

Per shipment, against the agreed specification. Issued by the load-port inspector, not by us.

Lot numbers, bag or container counts, gross and net weights.

On CIF and DAP terms. Cover assigned to the buyer or the bank as agreed.

06

From a grade code
to a bill of lading.

Six steps, in the order they happen. We price once the first two are fixed.

  1. 01

    Grade and sheet

    Name the grade, then check it against its data sheet in the matrix. If there is no sheet yet, ask for it.

  2. 02

    Terms and port

    An Incoterm, a load port and a destination. Those three, plus tonnage, are what an offer is priced on.

  3. 03

    Offer

    A written offer against that specification and those terms, with packaging and the shipment window stated.

  4. 04

    Inspection

    The certificate of analysis is issued per shipment by the load-port inspector, not by us.

  5. 05

    Loading

    Risk passes as the agreed Incoterm says. The bill of lading is issued on loading.

  6. 06

    Documents

    Origin, analysis, packing list and, on CIF and DAP, insurance. Original or telex release as the payment terms require.

07

Asked before
the offer.

From the technical data sheet issued for each grade: a TŞ or TDS number, printed beside every figure it supports. Nothing is rounded, restated or averaged, and each value is quoted as the sheet gives it.

Because their sheet is not yet in hand. A blank figure reads as unfinished; a plausible-looking one is a liability, because an inspector will hold us to it at the jetty. Ask for the grade and we will send the sheet with the offer.

FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP and EXW, under Incoterms 2020. The table in Logistics shows who carries carriage, insurance and clearance under each, and where risk passes.

Turkmenbashi, Aktau and Baku on the Caspian, and Jebel Ali in the Gulf. The port is agreed per shipment, not fixed.

The load-port inspector, per shipment, against the agreed specification. We don't issue it ourselves.

The product and grade, the tonnage, an Incoterm, the destination port, the packaging and the shipment window. The enquiry form below asks for exactly these, in that order.

08

Name the grade.
We'll quote the sheet.

Give us a grade, an Incoterm and a destination and we can price it. If the specification is still open, say so, and we'll come back with what the origin can actually hold.
