What we do
From origin to discharge port, one desk.
We sit between the producer and the end buyer and take responsibility for the parts that break trades: the right counterparty, the right terms, the right route.
Trade structuring
Incoterms, quality specifications, independent inspection and payment terms built around documentary instruments — LC, SBLC or CAD — issued by the parties' banks.
Freight & logistics
Landed-cost calculation on every corridor we quote: sea freight by vessel class, port charges, inland haulage and insurance, before you commit.
Market intelligence
Our own price models, trade-flow maps and a real-time supply-event feed. We quote with a view on where the market is going, not only where it was.
Markets
Five desks. Thirty products.
Benchmark reference prices for the markets we trade, updated as each source publishes. These are public benchmarks for orientation — not offers. Every FredIntel quote is issued individually, with its own validity date.

How we trade
A disciplined path from inquiry to settlement.
Commodity trades fail on vague terms and stale prices. Every step below is written down, and every price we give you carries a date on which it expires.
- 01
Inquiry
You send a request or an offer: product, specification, quantity, Incoterm, port and window.
- 02
Verification
KYC on both sides and our compliance gate. A trade either passes or it does not proceed.
- 03
Indicative price
A landed-cost indication built on the benchmark, the corridor freight and the counterparty.
- 04
Firm offer
A firm, written offer with full terms and an explicit validity — nothing open-ended.
- 05
Contract & inspection
Sales contract, payment instrument and independent quality and quantity inspection at loading.
- 06
Shipment & settlement
Nomination, loading, shipping documents and payment against them. We follow the cargo to discharge.
Compliance
Permitted, or not at all.
Compliance is not a cost we weigh against the margin. It is a gate: a trade that fails it does not happen, however profitable it looks.
Sanctions screening
Counterparties, vessels and beneficial owners are screened against the UN, US, EU and UK lists before a firm offer is issued.
Origin policy
We do not trade product of sanctioned or high-risk origin, including Russian-origin cargoes.
Documented chain
Every deal carries its specification, inspection report and shipping documents. No paper, no trade.
Fraud notice
FredIntel never asks for advance fees, and only communicates from the fredintel.com domain. Treat any other request in our name as fraudulent and report it to fred@fredintel.com.
