The Desk

A small desk, run by hand — with the patience of a private bank.

Monets operates the way trading used to: principal-led, deliberately small, and accountable end-to-end. We pick our counterparties carefully, speak plainly, and stay close to every cargo from nomination through B/L.

Principal-led

You speak to the person who signs.

Discreet

Quiet rooms, quiet deals.

Operationally close

Laycan, demurrage, paperwork — we sit on it.

Network-rich

Refineries, traders and owners on a first-name basis.

Services

From the first enquiry to the bill of lading.

We work the full chain so our counterparties don't have to. Trading, freight and operations sit under one roof.

01

Cargo Trading

Crude, fuel oil, gasoil and clean products. Spot and term, FOB and CIF — structured around the window that actually loads.

02

Supplier ↔ Client Matchmaking

We sit between refineries, traders and end-users and pair them by quality, geography and credit — not by spreadsheet.

03

Vessel Chartering

MR, LR1, LR2, Aframax and Suezmax. We source the right hull for the right voyage and negotiate the charter party.

04

Operations & Post-Fixture

Voyage orders, surveyors, laytime, demurrage and documentation — handled in-house, in real time.

05

Market Intelligence

A short, weekly read on flows, freight and arbitrage in the Med and Black Sea — written for principals, not for screens.

06

Bespoke Mandates

Buy-side and sell-side representation for clients who want a quiet, dedicated desk for a single cargo or a full programme.

Geography

Two seas. One desk.

Our beat runs from Algeciras to Novorossiysk — the refineries, terminals and bottlenecks of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. We know the ports, the surveyors and the local rhythm.

A note from the desk
"Petroleum trading is still a business of trust, relationships and timing. We built Monets to keep it that way — small enough to care, serious enough to deliver."

A short note is enough — grade, volume, window, load and discharge. We'll come back within the trading day.
