Connecting verified buyers, credible sellers, and mandated intermediaries across markets. We focus on qualified transactions only, ensuring efficiency, confidentiality, and serious deal flow.
We broker a focused range of refined petroleum products — from EN590 diesel and Jet A-1 to D6, JP54, and crude. Each product is traded to international specification standards, on a spot or contract basis, with full documentation provided at every stage.
Additional products including LNG, LPG, and bunker fuel available on inquiry.
Nordic Trade Desk connects product holders with end buyers through our established terminal and refinery network. Counterparties with confirmed Vopak TTT allocations and verified product are encouraged to bring opportunities directly to our desk.
We have transacted with and maintain relationships with major refineries including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips — enabling us to facilitate supply access and product placement for qualified counterparties.
SGS inspection certificates, Vopak terminal confirmations, and complete SPA packages provided on every transaction, regardless of which side of the trade we occupy.

LinkedInAs Industry Advisor to Nordic Trade Desk, Hong is a seasoned oil industry facilitator with experience spanning the U.S. Department of Energy, the Department of Defence, and sovereign counterparties at head of state level. Having had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest oil giants in the world, he brings a global network and rare vetting intelligence to every transaction.
LinkedInEvery deal runs through our desk from first contact to final transfer. All submitted documents — including CIS, KYC, and SCO — are handled with strict confidentiality and will never be shared online or with any third party outside the transaction.
All transactions are executed exclusively as TTT within Vopak. This is our standard and applies to every deal regardless of size or product. KM-KM is available on select transactions.
Before any transaction proceeds, both parties undergo a structured verification process. Product existence is confirmed through direct Vopak terminal manager communication, and all counterparties are screened for compliance, sanctions, and legitimacy. We do not proceed on the basis of claims alone.
Full documentation is issued and validated at each stage of the transaction. We operate within established international trade frameworks and require complete, verifiable paperwork from all parties. Incomplete or unverifiable documentation is grounds for immediate withdrawal from a deal.
Indicative pricing anchored to Platts and ICIS benchmarks, provided before any contractual commitment. We are transparent on pricing from the outset — no hidden fees, no undisclosed intermediary layers.
Payment is settled via MT103 wire transfer upon completion of the transfer, processed through major financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase. Commissions to all intermediaries are handled transparently and paid by both parties upon deal completion, including across rolls and extensions.
All inquiries are handled with strict confidentiality. Our trade desk operates Monday to Friday and will respond within 4 business hours with indicative pricing and procedural documentation.
