For Buyers

Source verified tonnage, against documentation that holds.

Submit a requirement and the desk will work it back to a qualified seller-side principal. We do not represent inventory we have not seen, or introduce parties we have not screened.

Where the desk is most useful

For procurement teams that need a clean line.

Bassie works best where a real buyer — a refinery, a smelter, a feed mill, an integrated trader — needs to source physical tonnage on terms that will settle, against a counterparty that survives KYC, sanctions screening and bank scrutiny.

If you are testing the market without instructed budget or signed authority to transact, this is not the right channel. We work with named principals and authorised mandates. The first cargo is the slowest; lifts after that move on the same documentation.
