Cash burn & demurrage
Idle days on charter, misaligned laycans, and “almost-ready” product inflate costs. Each day without verified path-to-lift drains cash and operational bandwidth.
When you don’t verify, you finance uncertainty.
In hydrocarbons, assumptions are expensive. Unverified TSR/TSA claims, opaque tank rights, and weak counterparties push capital into dead-ends—vessels idle, terminals stall, and teams scramble to reconcile stories that data would have disproved in hours. The result is not only lost deals; it’s compounding losses hidden across your P&L.
Non-performance & legal exposure
Promised inventory without terminal confirmation, encumbrances on title, or blocked access rights turn signatures into disputes and claims.
Frozen working capital
Pre-advances and escrowed funds lock up liquidity when Q&Q, gauging, and chain-of-custody checks were not completed upfront.
Counterparty & sanctions risk
Insufficient KYC/AML, UBO opacity, and weak track records expose you to frozen transactions, reputational damage, and bank de-risking.
Operational gridlock
Missing strapping tables, limited manifold access, or failing pumpability stall nominations. Product “exists” on paper—but it doesn’t move.
Opportunity cost
While teams chase unverifiable deals, credible trades with short decision windows are lost. Confidence—grounded in evidence—wins the calendar.
The problem is systemic—and solvable. Verification converts narratives into evidence: terminal-confirmed TSR/TSA, API/ASTM Quantity & Quality, and full counterparty clearance. When facts lead, liftings execute.
Hydrocarbons Verification. Evidence before execution.
We eliminate uncertainty with terminal-confirmed TSR/TSA, API/ASTM Q&Q and hard KYC—so your nominations lift, on time and on spec.
- Terminal confirmations
- API/ASTM discipline
- Global tank visibility
- KYC/AML enforcement
TSR/TSA authenticity
We speak to the terminal—Ops & Commercial. We verify contract & tank IDs, lease window, effective capacity and access rules. If it’s not real, it doesn’t pass.
Inventory that moves
API MPMS gauging, strapping tables and ASTM Q&Q (API @15 °C, sulfur, water-cut, distillation as applicable). We validate path-to-lift: manifolds, line integrity, pumpability and seals.
Counterparty you can clear
KYC/AML, sanctions & PEP screening, corporate registry/UBO and operational behavior (nominations, throughput, document discipline). We flag no-go early—before you commit funds.
How it works — from doubt to lift
- Scope & SLA. Define scope (TSR/TSA, Inventory, Counterparty), assets/terminals and deadlines.
- Terminal reality check. Direct confirmation with the terminal. IDs, lease, capacity, ullage and access.
- Gauge & Q&Q. API MPMS gauging + ASTM sampling/testing. Evidence beats narratives.
- Counterparty clearance. KYC/AML, sanctions, UBO and operational track record.
- Decision brief. Green/amber/red with next actions. You proceed with confidence—or save time & capital.
Deliverables
- Verification package: terminal confirmations, gauge sheets and chain-of-custody media.
- Operational traffic-light with actions, exposure table and deadlines.
- Executive go/no-go brief for IC / risk committees with SLA-paced turnaround.
SLA-driven cadence
Decisions in days, not cycles
API / ASTM discipline
Quantity & Quality under standards
Global terminals
Remote & on-site verification
TSR/TSA Authenticity
Direct confirmation with the terminal (Ops/Commercial). We verify contract & tank IDs, lease period, capacity & ullage, nomination owners, access privileges and title traceability.
Inventory & Transferability
API MPMS gauging (ullage/innage + strapping tables & temperature compensation) and ASTM Q&Q: API gravity @15 °C, sulfur, water-cut, distillation/flash as applicable. We ensure the product can actually move: manifolds, line integrity, pumpability and seals status.
Counterparty Verification
KYC/AML, sanctions & PEP screening. Corporate due diligence (registry, UBO, litigation, banking references) and operational behavior (nominations/throughput, document discipline). Clear early. Execute with confidence.
