Most brokers touch one link in the chain and hand you off. Malico stays with the barrel the whole way, arranging supply, structuring the trade, moving the cargo, and settling the deal. Four disciplines, one desk, one point of accountability.
01 Sourcing & Supply
We hold direct relationships with vetted refineries, national oil companies, and established producers, giving buyers access to genuine allocations rather than daisy-chained offers. Every supply line is backed by verifiable proof of product and refinery commitment before a single barrel is discussed in earnest, so you engage only with real, liftable cargo.
- Direct refinery and producer allocations
- WTI, Brent, Bonny Light and refined grades
- Verifiable proof of product
- Origin and title due diligence
02 Trading & Brokerage
Spot cargoes or long-term contracts, structured cleanly by desks that have priced and closed crude for years. We prepare and negotiate the Soft Corporate Offer, SPA, and pricing formula, and coordinate the payment instrument, whether a Documentary Letter of Credit, SBLC, or escrow, so the commercial terms are watertight and both sides know exactly what they have agreed.
- Spot and term structures
- SCO, ICPO and SPA preparation
- Platts and benchmark-linked pricing
- DLC, SBLC and escrow instruments
03 Logistics & Freight
Once terms are set, we move the cargo. Malico charters tonnage, books independent inspection, and coordinates marine transport port to port, keeping both counterparties informed at every waypoint. From loading terminal to discharge, laytime, demurrage, and documentation are managed so the physical delivery is as disciplined as the paperwork behind it.
- Vessel chartering and nomination
- Port-to-port marine coordination
- Real-time cargo visibility
- Incoterms: FOB, CIF, TTO, TTT
04 Compliance & Settlement
Every transaction is built to be defensible. We run full KYC and know-your-customer checks, sanctions and PEP screening, and anti-money-laundering diligence on all parties before funds or cargo move. Settlement clears against independent SGS or CIQ inspection through escrow or bank instrument, and every step is documented so the trade stands up to any scrutiny.
- KYC and beneficial-owner checks
- Sanctions, PEP and AML screening
- SGS / CIQ quality and quantity inspection
- Escrow and bank-instrument settlement
