TOTAL FUEL MANAGEMENT
When people traditionally think of brokers they automatically think of mechanics of fixing stems. At NSI the execution of the transaction is only a small part of the job we do. As our business has developed we have moved away from the concept of broking commissions in favour of management fees to reflect the varied work we do for our owners.
CREDIT
We conduct a comprehensive credit review for all of our clients and ensure there is adequate and optimal credit cover basis the type of shipping company, risk profile and preferred routes to market. What's more we liaise with credit reporting agencies to ensure your profile is accurate and payment performance references are reflective of your companies 'real life' performance. This ensures credit lines are maximised and the views of financial and insurance companies are aligned to the clients expectations.
PLANNING
We assess our customers key lifting locations. Part of this process involves help in assessing upcoming COA's to ensure your bunkering is optimised. Through the use of www.bunkerintel.com customers have at their fingertips planning tools backed up by the latest pricing data from our team of brokers.
TIMING
We are constantly assessing the market in terms of local port conditions as well as macro-economic trends and the futures market to ensure your bunkering is done at optimal timing. This ensures logistical continuity and price risk management.
FIXING
We ensure comprehensive cover in every port our customers call and offer advice on individual companies terms and conditions, time bar clauses as well as historic claims ratios and latest testing results. This will ensure buyers can make purchasing decisions with a complete overview of the options.
POST FIXTURE
We have an experienced post fixture department to manage all the documentation and to check for errors and omission. The team diligently ensure everything customers receive is accurate.
CLAIMS MANAGEMENT
We have a team of highly experienced claims management professionals. They are expert in analysing documents and advising on best practice to solve claims quickly and effectively.
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
We are here to handle all bespoke reporting requirements and to benchmark performance for management and external scrutiny.
RENUMERATION
We charge a flat broking/management charge. Included in that fee are all of the above services. This is essentially the difference between NSI and other brokers/bunker management companies.
