Counterparty screening where
the chain is long.

A cargo passes through traders, charterers, brokers and financing banks before it reaches a buyer. Sanctions attach at every link, and the link that breaks is usually the one nobody screened because somebody else had.

Compliance challenges

What keeps your compliance team up at night.

Ownership behind a trading house

Trading entities are created and retired quickly. The designation follows the owner, and the owner is not on the confirmation.

Cargo origin and its paperwork

Origin is asserted in documents that are produced by the parties with the most to gain from the assertion.

Vessels, charterers and operators

A ship's registered owner, its operator and its charterer can be three different parties in three different jurisdictions, each separately designable.

Attestation regimes

Price cap and similar regimes put the burden on service providers to hold records, which means holding evidence about parties you do not contract with directly.

Regimes that move faster than contracts

A designation lands overnight. A term contract runs for a year. The gap between them is the exposure.

Intermediaries you inherit

A broker introduces a counterparty and the relationship becomes yours. So does the diligence.
