Trade Science sources and trades physical energy and commodities—including LNG, LPG, coals, refined petroleum products, fertilizers and crude oil—and structures financing for international transactions.
We source products for buyers through our multiple sources, acquire products, arrange logistics and finance, and execute contracts. Our work covers LNG, LPG, coals, refined petroleum products, fertilizers and crude oil.
Our role as a trader runs from sourcing and purchasing through logistics, financing and delivery.
Explore energy tradingWe arrange special financing to enable our clients, end users, off-takers and refineries to benefit from extended payment terms and special conditions.
Capital, credit approval and financing terms remain with the bank, insurer or investor.
Explore structured financeAn energy transaction is physical, financial and operational at the same time. We bring the commercial terms, the payment and financing structure, counterparty coordination and logistics into one transaction framework, so each part is built to work with the others.
Not every opportunity becomes a transaction. Counterparty verification, commercial viability and executable terms come first.
We work with buyers, suppliers, banks and other financial institutions across five regions, from offices in Dubai, Hong Kong, Atlanta, Montreal and Santiago.
