Wholesale Heavy Crude Oils Requirement: Quantity 12 million barrels per month for an Importer in France
A verified buyer in France is sourcing heavy crude oils, indicating a volume of Quantity 12 million barrels per month. The buyer has specified CIF shipping, with settlement by an irrevocable letter of credit, so responding sellers should be positioned to perform on a seaborne cargo rather than a small parcel. A credible offer evidences heavy crude oils on a certificate of quality: for crude grades, API gravity, sulphur content, BS&W, pour point and density; for refined products such as gasoil or jet fuel, the sulphur grade, cetane number, flash point and density, against the usual ASTM or ISO test methods. Proof of product, a statement of available quantity, and a refinery or allocation reference carry more weight than price alone at first contact. Quality and quantity are normally established by an independent inspector such as SGS, Saybolt or Intertek, with sampling and a dip test at the load port and re-inspection at the discharge port. Heavy crude oils moves as bulk liquid cargo, so the offer should name the load port, the nominated vessel or laycan window, and the volume that can genuinely be lifted, rather than any packaging or container detail. Trade terms most often negotiated are FOB at the load port and CIF or CFR to the discharge port; under CIF the seller arranges the vessel and marine insurance through to discharge. Confirm Incoterms 2020 so the point of risk transfer is unambiguous. Payment on cargoes of this size is usually an irrevocable documentary letter of credit at sight or a standby letter of credit confirmed bank to bank, which matches the instrument this buyer has specified. A complete first response covers grade compliance against the buyer's note, a delivered price tied to a recognised benchmark with a clear validity window, proof of product, the load port and laycan, the inspection regime, and the bank instrument the offer can perform against.
