Full-Spectrum Trade
Facilitation

From origin identification to final payment settlement — every link in the international commodity supply chain, managed by a single, accountable counterparty.

Service 01

Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Qualification

The foundation of every successful commodity transaction is a verified, capable supplier. Atlantis Base maintains active sourcing relationships with producers and exporters across North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Morocco), the Mediterranean (Turkey, Spain, Greece), and select Asian origins.

Our qualification process for every supplier includes: corporate registration verification, production capacity confirmation, quality certification review (EN 197-1, ISO, API Spec 10A where applicable), and a documented export history check. We do not introduce phantom suppliers.

Typical Engagement

A buyer in the Caribbean requires 50,000 MT of CEM II 42.5 N on a recurring monthly basis. Atlantis Base:

  1. Qualifies 3 Algerian exporters against the spec
  2. Obtains competitive FOB offers within 48 hours
  3. Presents the buyer with a structured CFR offer
  4. Executes the SPA and coordinates the first shipment
Service 02

Deal Structuring & Trade Finance

International commodity transactions require more than willing buyers and sellers — they require bankable financial instruments that protect both parties against counterparty risk. Atlantis Base structures every transaction with payment security at its core.

We work within UCP 600 (Letter of Credit) and ISP98 (Standby LC) frameworks, and coordinate with correspondent banks on both sides of the transaction to ensure instrument confirmation before any cargo commitment is made by the seller.

Irrevocable LC (at sight) — standard instrument for first transactions
SBLC — performance guarantee for framework agreements
Escrow — available for smaller, spot transactions
TT (Telegraphic Transfer) — repeat transactions, established counterparties only
