Whatever the commodity, origin or destination, Mare coordinates the commercial and physical chain that moves it — from verifying the producer through to closing the settlement. Depending on the transaction we may act as principal trader, distributor, mandate or disclosed intermediary.
Nothing is offered to a buyer before the supply behind it has been checked. This is where most commodity fraud is stopped — long before a vessel is booked.
Legal existence, ownership, authority to sell, product availability, export capability, specifications and banking identity are verified and reconciled before a product is marketed. Directory records are checked independently rather than taken from a counterparty's own presentation.
Producers, refineries, processors, mines, plantations, exporters and established trading houses are onboarded into a controlled network. Documentary consistency across the file matters as much as any single certificate.
The actual country of production is evidenced by documents. A loading port is never presented as the country of origin unless supporting certificates confirm the product was produced there.
Grade, moisture, protein and impurity tolerances are fixed contractually and confirmed against a drawn sample, so that quality disputes have an agreed reference point before shipment.
Ocean freight, vessel selection, chartering, air cargo, marine documentation and port execution are central to international bulk trade — and are where the maritime heritage of our parent company applies directly.
Containerised and breakbulk movement booked and coordinated end to end, with the cargo documents kept aligned to what was actually loaded. Vessels are operated under the Mare Maritime fleet and brand.
Vessel selection and chartering for liquid bulk. Mare Maritime has carried out commercial management and chartering of VLCC, Aframax and LPG vessels since March 2015.
Air cargo coordination for time-sensitive, high-value and smaller-volume shipments, including samples and urgent commercial consignments. Booked when the shipment window matters more than the freight cost.
Road, rail and barge movement connecting producers and plants to the load port, and the discharge port to the buyer's facility.
Loading supervision, clear laytime and demurrage terms, realistic shipment windows, and a bill of lading issued against what was actually shipped.
Ships and marine operations run under the Mare Maritime brand. Mare Commodities draws on that fleet experience for freight, vessel selection and the marine documentation that has to match the cargo.
Controlled and strategic goods require authorisations. Commodity-specific destination regulations, sanctions, food-safety rules, customs requirements and licensing are checked transaction by transaction.
Quantity and quality confirmed by an independent surveyor before shipment, against the contracted specification, with a defined claims procedure agreed in advance.
Shipments move under the customs regimes of their actual origin and destination. Local requirements for import, export and transhipment are checked per shipment, and authorisations are obtained where goods are controlled.
Counterparties, beneficial owners, vessels, banks, origin and destination are screened and the compliance review documented. Cargo is covered in transit where the Incoterm requires it.
Bonded and standard storage arranged where a shipment window, a destination requirement or a discharge constraint calls for it.
Profit is calculated after freight, insurance, inspection, financing, banking, storage, demurrage, duties and taxes, documentation and agent commissions — not before.
Risk-appropriate payment structures: documentary LC, confirmed LC, escrow or controlled TT arrangements, agreed in the contract rather than negotiated under pressure later.
Funds are released against documents. Bank-detail changes are verified independently, and third-party or last-minute account changes receive enhanced review.
Bill of lading, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and inspection certificates reconciled against each other and against the vessel data before release.
Settlement completed, costs reconciled, approved commissions paid only on cleared funds, and the full transaction record archived for future due diligence.
