We ensure transparent, efficient, and reliable global shipping for all our cement and clinker exports. All international maritime transactions and logistics are governed by the official Incoterms® 2020 published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).To accommodate the varying logistical capabilities and preferences of our global buyers, we offer the following standard maritime delivery terms:
Best for: Buyers who have preferred relationships with shipping lines and wish to control their own ocean freight and marine insurance.
Our Responsibility: We handle all export customs clearance, terminal handling charges, and the physical loading of the cement or clinker onto your designated vessel at our departure port.
Risk Transfer: The risk of loss or damage transfers from us to the buyer the exact moment the cargo is safely loaded on board the vessel.
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for booking and paying for the ocean freight, securing marine insurance, and handling all import procedures at the destination.
Best for: Buyers who want us to leverage our maritime logistics network to handle the ocean transport, but prefer to manage their own cargo insurance policy.
Our Responsibility: We cover export customs, port handling, vessel loading, and the cost of ocean freight to transport the goods to your specified destination port.
Risk Transfer: While we pay the freight costs, the risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer as soon as the cargo is loaded onto the vessel at the port of origin.
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for purchasing your own marine cargo insurance, unloading the material at the destination port, and managing import customs.
Best for: Buyers seeking a comprehensive, hassle-free logistics package where both ocean freight and baseline insurance are managed by the exporter.
Our Responsibility: We manage export clearance, loading, ocean freight to your destination port, and we secure minimum marine cargo insurance (Institute Cargo Clauses 'C', covering 110% of the CFR value) on your behalf.
Risk Transfer: As with CFR, the physical risk transfers to the buyer once the cargo is loaded on board the vessel at origin.
Your Responsibility: You manage the unloading process upon vessel arrival, import customs clearance, and final delivery to your facilities.
While FOB, CFR, and CIF are the industry standards for heavy maritime commodities, we understand that specific infrastructure projects or regional markets may require different arrangements. Depending on the discharge port facilities and cargo volume (bulk vessel vs. break-bulk FIBC bags), we are open to discussing alternative logistics frameworks.
Please Note: Final delivery terms, confirmed freight rates, and exact insurance provisions will be clearly defined and agreed upon in the final Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
