Ocean Solutions LLC
As a broker of physical and financially settled commodities, Ocean Solutions believes that each transaction requires in-depth commercial knowledge and experience, attention to detail, and an understanding of each customer’s unique requirements to develop tailored, structured solutions to today's supply chain challenges. We seek to identify commercial opportunities where geographical pricing differentials, unique specifications and in-depth industry knowledge can be exploited to develop the most economical solution for our customers. Each customer’s needs are unique and each transaction is different. Once a commercial opportunity is identified, we tenaciously pursue it from sourcing to delivery and post resolution of any disputes or concern. Strong relationships with logistics providers – pipelines, ship owners, terminals, etc. – and a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain enable Ocean Solutions to manage any or all parts of the logistics chain for each transaction as a means to mitigate risk for clients. Trading futures, swaps and any derivatives thereof (collectively “Commodity Interests”) involve substantial risk and are not appropriate for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
