Plant-Scale Feedstock Baskets & Laycan Programmes
Industrial plant procurement heads at integrated fertilizer works, steel mills, cement grinding plants, and aluminum smelters purchase continuous baskets of raw materials. CBIL structures physical commodity supply ($1.00–$2.50 / MT brokerage) while our dedicated chartering desk, LaycanDesk, fixes the ocean vessel nominations, laycans, and charterparties (1.25% freight brokerage) under long-term Contracts of Affreightment (COA).
Continuous Ocean Laycan Programmes
Each hub coordinates an essential multi-feedstock basket with standardized IMSBC stowage factors, loading benchmarks, and charterparty terms.
