Wholesale Steam Coal Requirement: 100,000 Metric Tons for an Importer in India
A verified buyer in India is sourcing steam coal, indicating a volume of 100,000 Metric Tons. Delivery is sought into Japan And Paradip (India) on CIF terms, with settlement by a standby letter of credit, so responding sellers should be positioned to perform on a seaborne cargo rather than a small parcel. The buyer's own note adds: "100,000 MT Steam Coal for Japan and Paradip (India): 5800 GAR / 5500 NAR Moisture 10%, Ash 15%, S 0.8% CIF Japan and Paradip (India) Payment: DLC or SBLC If...". A credible offer evidences steam coal on a certificate of analysis: the assay (for ore, Fe or metal content, silica, alumina, phosphorus and sulphur, moisture, and size fraction such as lump, fines or pellet; for finished metal, grade, dimensions and mechanical properties), against standard ISO sampling and assay methods. Proof of material, a verifiable load port, and available tonnage carry more weight than price alone at first contact. Quality and quantity are normally established by an independent inspector such as SGS or Intertek, with sampling and a draft survey at the load port and re-check at the discharge port. Steam coal moves as bulk-carrier cargo, so the offer should name the load port, the vessel class the parcel suits, the laycan, and the tonnage genuinely available, rather than container or packaging detail. Trade terms most often negotiated are FOB at the load port and CFR or CIF to the discharge port, here Japan And Paradip (India); under CFR the seller arranges the vessel through to the buyer's port. 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, often with final settlement against the inspected content at discharge, which matches the instrument this buyer has specified. A complete first response covers grade compliance against the buyer's note, a delivered price with a clear validity window and any index linkage, proof of material and available tonnage, the load port and laycan, the inspection and assay arrangement, and the bank instrument the offer can perform against.
