Trade Science trades physical liquefied natural gas (LNG), thermal coal, refined petroleum products and fertilizers, and structures the financing behind complex international transactions.
Conceptual animated scenes. Not Trade Science facilities, vessels or transactions.
We source, buy and sell physical LNG, thermal coal, refined petroleum products and fertilizers for utilities, industrial users and distributors, acting as principal or as arranger for a named principal.
Our role runs from commercial terms and contract through shipping coordination, inspection and delivery.
Explore energy tradingWe structure trade finance, securitization, receivables and supply chain finance, and asset-backed facilities around identifiable transactions and cash flows.
Capital, credit approval and financing terms remain with the bank, insurer or investor.
Explore structured financeAn energy transaction is physical, financial and operational at the same time. We bring the commercial terms, the payment and financing structure, counterparty coordination and logistics into one transaction framework, so each part is built to work with the others.
Not every opportunity becomes a transaction. Counterparty verification, commercial viability and executable terms come first.
We work with buyers, suppliers, banks and other financial institutions across five regions, from offices in Dubai, Atlanta, Laval and Santiago.

Meet the leadershipBoth sides of an international transaction need to know who is across the table.
We verify every counterparty through corporate verification, know-your-customer (KYC), anti-money-laundering (AML) and sanctions screening. We give counterparties what they need to verify us in return: our legal entities, our leadership and our official channels.
