Products & Services
Bulk petroleum products — import, transit & offshore trade. Covering fuel oil, rubber, paraffin, base oil and more.
We hold cargo title. We are not an intermediary.
SNSUC trades bulk petroleum products in its own name and holds title to the cargo it sells. When you receive a quotation from us, you are dealing with the party that owns the barrels — not a broker passing paper between two counterparties who have never met.
- Cargo title
Do you own the cargo, or are you brokering it?
We contract as principal in our own name. Title, risk and payment obligations sit with SNSUC or with its overseas SPV — not with an unnamed end-buyer behind a chain of intermediaries.
- Performance
Can you actually lift and deliver?
Crude is moved through ship-to-ship transfer at established anchorages outside the Strait of Hormuz, or delivered under bonded-warehouse arrangements. Clean products move on conventional tanker parcels. We state the loading port and the routing tier in every quotation — never a generic "Middle East origin".
- Paper
Are the documents clean?
Bills of lading, independent third-party inspection, certificates of origin and quantity are issued per standard trade practice. For offshore transit trades we keep the cargo flow and the payment flow in a closed loop, and we say so to our bank upfront rather than waiting to be asked.
Three structures, chosen before the instrument is issued
- Transit / Offshore
Cargo that never enters China customs
Goods move from one overseas party to another without clearing Chinese customs, settled offshore in a single currency. This is the structure we use for crude transshipment and for third-country trades.
Executed through SPVs in Singapore, Hong Kong and DIFC (Dubai), each with real office, staff and decision-making presence.
- STS Transshipment
Ship-to-ship outside the Strait
For crude, discharge port cannot be changed once the letter of credit is opened. We therefore lock the destination as an STS anchorage — Sohar or Fujairah — at the structuring stage, before any instrument is issued.
This is a documentary constraint, not a logistics afterthought. We raise it with counterparties before terms are agreed.
- Import / Export
Conventional bonded trade
Fuel oil, base oil, lubricants, asphalt, paraffin wax and petroleum coke traded into and out of China through bonded storage, with customs clearance handled by the importing entity of record.
Where a transaction requires a Chinese import quota, the qualified domestic party acts as importer of record. We do not trade quota.
Want to see what we can actually offer?
Send us the grade, volume, loading range and destination. We will tell you plainly whether it fits — and if it does not, why.
