Marine Gas Oil (MGO) forms part of our marine fuels portfolio.

We seek opportunities to supply compliant distillate marine fuels to shipping companies, vessel operators, bunker traders and marine-service providers.

Products are sourced against agreed specifications and applicable marine-fuel requirements.

Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil – VLSFO

Silvershell Energy also participates in opportunities involving Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) for marine applications.

VLSFO generally refers to marine fuel with sulphur content at or below 0.50% by mass, consistent with the relevant marine-fuel framework.

Our activities may include sourcing, cargo trading, bunker supply and bulk distribution depending on the market and transaction.

Ultra-Low Sulphur Fuel Oil – ULSFO

Global Sourcing

Silvershell Energy's sourcing strategy is based on diversification.

Rather than depending on a single supplier or geography, we seek relationships with refineries, producers, national oil companies, authorised distributors, storage terminals and established international commodity traders across major energy-producing and refining centres.

Potential sourcing regions include:

Europe & Mediterranean
Middle East & Arabian Gulf
West & North Africa
United States & Americas
Asia-Pacific

Product availability and sourcing decisions are subject to commercial viability, origin, specification, logistics, counterparty due diligence and applicable trade and sanctions requirements.

Storage, Terminals & Logistics

Physical petroleum trading requires the ability to move products efficiently between seller and buyer.

Silvershell Energy therefore works with appropriate third-party infrastructure and logistics providers to coordinate:

01Refinery
02Terminal
03Storage
04Vessel
05Import Terminal
06Distribution
07Customer

Product Quality & Inspection

Product quality is fundamental to our trading operations.

Petroleum products are traded according to agreed contractual specifications, and where required, independent inspection companies may be appointed to verify product quality and quantity.

Depending on the product and transaction, documentation may include:

Certificate of Analysis
Certificate of Quality
Certificate of Quantity
Certificate of Origin
Bill of Lading
Cargo Manifest
Inspection Report
Commercial Invoice
Terminal Documentation

Product specifications and certificates are reviewed against the requirements agreed between buyer and seller.

Our Trading Approach

At Silvershell Energy, we do not view energy trading simply as buying a commodity in one location and selling it in another.

We seek to understand the entire transaction:

1.Where is the product?
2.Who controls the supply?
3.What is the specification?
4.Where is the demand?
5.What is the benchmark and differential?
6.What are the freight and storage economics?
7.How will the transaction be financed?
8.How will the cargo reach the customer?
9.Does the transaction satisfy our compliance requirements?

Only when these elements align can a physical commodity transaction move efficiently from opportunity to execution.

Compliance & Responsible Sourcing

Silvershell Energy is committed to conducting international energy trading responsibly.

We do not knowingly source or trade petroleum products or crude oil of sanctioned or prohibited origin, nor do we knowingly transact with prohibited counterparties.

Our approach includes appropriate:

KYC/KYB
Beneficial Ownership Verification
Sanctions Screening
Cargo Origin Verification
Vessel Screening
Product Documentation
Counterparty Due Diligence
AML Controls
Trade Compliance

Where appropriate, we also examine vessel history, cargo provenance, shipping documentation and chain of custody as part of transaction due diligence.
