INDUSTRY
Oil, Gas & Petroleum Logistics
Fuels, lubricants and petroleum products moved and brokered with compliance at every port.
OVERVIEW
How we serve oil, gas & petroleum trading.
Petroleum cargo is judged on paperwork and timing as much as on price. Product specification, inspection, port slot and clearance all have to line up before a parcel moves — and any one of them out of place holds the whole nomination.
Petrobulk works as forwarder and broker for refiners, traders and distributors: coordinating tankers and ISO tanks, connecting verified counterparties on EN590, crude and gasoline enquiries, and running EXIM documentation so cargo clears without avoidable demurrage.
Sector challenges
- Specification discipline
EN590, gasoline and lubricant parcels live or die on spec sheets, SGS reports and agreed inspection points.
- Port and berth windows
Missed laycans and slow clearance turn into demurrage before the cargo has moved a metre.
- Counterparty verification
Fuel trading attracts unserious intermediaries; buyers and sellers must be checked before documents circulate.
- Hazard compliance
Class 3 handling, ISO-tank certification and port safety rules leave no room for improvisation.
How we solve it
- Tanker & ISO-tank coordination
Vessel and tank-container arrangement matched to parcel size, product grade and discharge facility.
- Brokerage on verified enquiries
EN590, crude and gasoline enquiries introduced only between counterparties we have screened.
- Port & EXIM compliance desk
Bills of lading, certificates of origin, inspection reports and customs entries prepared in-house.
- Single accountable desk
One coordinator owns the nomination from enquiry through discharge, with written status at each stage.

CASE IN POINT
Forwarder and broker on the same desk.
Because we handle both the brokerage conversation and the physical forwarding, spec, inspection and shipping terms are agreed against what can actually be executed at the load and discharge ports — not renegotiated after fixture.
FAQs
Do you supply fuel directly?
No. Petrobulk is a freight forwarder and brokerage. We arrange movement and introduce verified counterparties; the sale contract sits between buyer and seller.
Which petroleum products do you handle?
Refined products such as EN590 diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, fuel oil, base oils and lubricants, plus crude parcels on a brokerage basis.
Can you arrange ISO tanks for smaller parcels?
Yes. Where a full tanker is uneconomic, we coordinate ISO tank containers and flexible arrangements on liner services.
Who handles inspection and documentation?
We coordinate independent inspection at load and discharge and prepare the shipping and customs documentation set in-house.
