Supplier registration
Sell to buyers who have already been qualified.
We bring you funded requirements with a defined spec, a real destination and a decision-maker attached. In return we ask questions most buyers never bother to ask — and we check the answers.

The arrangement
What you get
- Reach you do not have. 17 markets on 4 continents since 2008 — West and Central Africa, the Caribbean, the Gulf. 3 of them landlocked. If your goods stop at the port, ours do not.
- Qualified demand. Requirements reach you with quantity, destination, Incoterm, budget band and a date. We have already had that conversation so you do not have to.
- No pay-to-play. Registration is free, listing is free, and you cannot buy a better ranking. Ever.
- Paid on time. Milestones are structured with the buyer up front and funds sit in LC or escrow before you cut steel.
The other half
What we expect
- Ownership, disclosed. Beneficial owners above 25%, named. This is not negotiable and it’s where most applications end.
- Quotes that hold. A price you’ll honour for the validity period you state. Re-trading after award ends the relationship.
- Access for inspection. Our inspector or the buyer’s sees the goods before a payment milestone releases.
- Bad news early. Slippage happens. Slippage concealed until the vessel is booked is what gets suppliers removed.
How vetting works
Five stages. Here is all of it.
No black box. If we decline you, you will be told which stage and why — and most reasons are fixable.
- 01
Identity & standing
Registration certificate, tax ID, years trading, audited accounts or bank reference. We confirm you exist and have for a while.
- 02
Ownership & sanctions
Beneficial ownership above 25%, screened against OFAC, EU, UN and UK consolidated lists, plus denied-party and PEP checks. Re-screened before every award.
- 03
Capability evidence
Three comparable contracts with references we actually call. Certifications verified with the issuing body, not accepted as a PDF.
- 04
Site or factory audit
Physical or remote depending on category and value. Capacity, QC process, and whether the address is a facility or a mailbox.
- 05
Agreement & onboarding
Framework terms, category tagging, portal access. You start receiving RFQs matched to what you demonstrably do.
