Unisphere Trading
Commodity origination, structured trade and cross-border execution on physical flows — where the platform takes operational responsibility from origin to destination.
Commodity origination, structured trade and cross-border execution on physical flows — where the platform takes operational responsibility from origin to destination.
Unisphere Trading is the platform's origination and physical trading arm — direct participation in commodity flows where every transaction is backed by an identified counterparty on both sides.
The vertical operates across crude palm oil, steel, timber, crude oil and refined products. Each cargo is originated against a named end-buyer before it is priced, structured or shipped.
Cross-border execution is the core discipline: contract formation, trade finance structuring, freight coordination, documentary handling, customs clearance and settlement — managed under one operational accountability from origin port to destination.
Active trade corridors span Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, operated from a single European desk on CET.
These are not outsourced. They are the operational spine of every trade the platform executes.
Identification of cargoes, counterparties and corridors where the platform can add structural value — not commission spread.
Commercial and contractual architecture: LC instruments, pre-export facilities, counterparty and country risk mitigation.
Vessel and container coordination, terminal handling, demurrage management — scheduled against named loading and discharge windows.
Bills of lading, certificates of origin, quality surveys, phytosanitary and sustainability documentation. The documentary chain is part of the cargo.
Import/export declarations, tariff classification, customs clearance, UCP-600 instruments and Incoterms 2020 framework. Closing the loop, cleanly.
Due diligence on every counterparty before cargo is committed: KYC, sanctions screening, credit assessment and origin verification.
Trade corridors connect origin geographies with destination markets. Each corridor has its own regulatory, logistical and commercial logic.
