STANDARD FOB TRANSACTION PROCEDURES

The buyer will need to submit an ICPO with a Notice of Readiness (NOR) from their tank farm or ship, along with the relevant documents and forms that will be sent to the Buyer. Once terms represented therein are accepted by the Buyer, pricing discounts will be offered.

NOTE: No NOR, No deal. This is a very strict policy instituted by the refineries and must be adhered to.

The procedures are as follows:

1) Buyer tenders ICPO (with passport & CP) and POF & NOR to Seller

2) Seller responds with Confirmation Letter of fuel availability;

3) Seller issues a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA);

4) Upon receipt of signed JPA, Seller issues CI;

5) Upon receipt of singed CI, Seller issues DTA;

6) Upon Buyer’s receipt of successful SGS report, Seller arranges fuel transfer to Buyer’s tanks;

7) Upon Buyer confirming complete transfer of fuel, Buyer pays for fuel and Seller issues POP & other relative Title docs.
