01
Principal Buyer
We purchase the cargo for our own account, giving cargo interests a firm counterparty and a clear cut-off point.
Case work
Case Studies
& Our Roles
Every distressed cargo case is different. What stays constant is the role we take — and we take whichever role produces the best commercially reasonable outcome for that specific cargo.
Six roles
One case. One contact. Several possible roles.
02
Salvage Sale Manager
We structure and run the sale on an as-is basis, documenting condition, buyer vetting and the basis of price.
03
Remarketing Partner
We identify the alternative market, grade or application that can still absorb the cargo and reach the buyers there.
04
Recovery Coordinator
We organise segregation, reprocessing and reconditioning so the recoverable fraction keeps its value.
05
Recycling Coordinator
We place material with licensed recycling and recovery operators where product value has gone.
06
Disposal Coordinator
We arrange compliant destruction and disposal with documentation, where no other route remains.
Documented cases
We publish cases only when the parties permit it.
Distressed cargo work touches insurance claims, contracts of sale, charterparties and, in some cases, litigation. We do not publish invented examples, and we do not disclose client identities, commercial terms or figures without written consent.
Anonymised references for a comparable cargo, region or damage pattern can normally be discussed directly on request. Tell us the commodity and the situation and we will describe how comparable cases were handled.
Trust & compliance
Commercial, but always within the rules.
Transactions and services are subject to verification and applicable regulation, including:
- Ownership and title verification
- Applicable customs requirements
- Sanctions and compliance checks
- Environmental and waste regulations
- Local laws
- Cargo-specific regulatory requirements
Purchases and sales require evidence of ownership and authority to sell, or the written authority of the insurer or party entitled to dispose of the cargo. Recovery, recycling and disposal routes depend on waste classification and on applicable environmental, transport and customs rules in the countries involved. Potential alternative use of food or agricultural cargo, including animal-feed applications, depends on cargo condition, laboratory results and applicable food and feed legislation, and is only pursued where the competent authorities and the relevant rules allow it.
