Cement & Clinker

OPC, clinker & white cement in bulk and sling bags

CBIL brokers Portland cement, cement clinker and white cement between the exporting mills of the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia and the grinding units, distributors and project buyers that draw on them. Clinker is the bulk flow of the trade and it is bought on chemistry (C3S, lime saturation factor, free lime) rather than strength, in 25,000–55,000 MT Handysize and Supramax parcels; cement is bought on EN 197-1 or ASTM C150 strength class and moves as 50 kg sacks in sling bags or in bulk; white cement adds whiteness and Fe₂O₃ to the sheet and prices at a multiple of grey. UN Comtrade 2025 export declarations under HS 2523 put Indonesia at 13.98 million MT (USD 32/MT), Egypt at 10.19 million MT (USD 82), Pakistan at 8.85 million MT (USD 38) and Saudi Arabia at 8.05 million MT (USD 40). CBIL already corresponds with exporters in Turkiye, Egypt, Vietnam and the UAE and with clinker importers in West Africa and Bangladesh, and its chartering desk (LaycanDesk) quotes the freight leg alongside the cargo so an FOB offer becomes a CFR number to your berth.
