VIA SHIPS — Commodities Trading House

We only engage with verified end buyers and mandates. No intermediaries without mandate.

Transaction workflow

Procedures.

Every transaction follows a producer-approved working procedure with bank-to-bank execution and independent inspection.

VIASHIPS SPAIN
Section 1

Standard procedure

Six sequential steps from initial inquiry to delivered cargo. Each step must be completed and documented before the next is initiated.

  1. 01

    Buyer submits ICPO / LOI

    Buyer issues an Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (or Letter of Intent) on company letterhead with full corporate, banking and product specification details.

  2. 02

    Seller issues FCO

    Within 24–48 hours the trade desk returns a Full Corporate Offer stating commercial terms, price, validity and producer working procedure.

  3. 03

    Buyer signs FCO

    Buyer counter-signs and returns the FCO, confirming acceptance of commercial terms and triggering contract drafting.

  4. 04

    SPA is issued and signed

    The Sales & Purchase Agreement is issued by the seller, negotiated where required, and executed by both parties together with NCNDA / IMFPA when applicable.

  5. 05

    Payment instrument is activated

    Buyer activates the agreed financial instrument (DLC MT700, SBLC MT760, TT or alternative as per SPA) from a top-rated bank to seller's nominated account.

  6. 06

    Shipment is executed

    Producer commences loading under SGS / CIQ / Cotecna inspection. Vessel is nominated, B/L issued and cargo delivered per Incoterms stated in the SPA.

Section 2

Russian-origin special conditions

For Russian-origin commodities (UREA, DAP, wheat, sunflower oil, barley) the following dedicated conditions apply, in addition to the standard procedure above.

Specific pricing mechanism

Russian-origin contracts follow a dedicated price formula tied to weekly producer netbacks rather than the public price board, allowing competitive levels for serious volumes.

Payment flexibility

Accepted instruments include TT (bank wire), USDT (TRC-20 / ERC-20) and Bank Guarantee (BG MT760), subject to KYC clearance and producer approval.

Faster execution cycles

Streamlined documentation and direct producer access typically reduce ICPO-to-shipment timelines compared with standard procedure.

Russian-origin conditions are offered subject to applicable international regulations and producer eligibility. Final terms are confirmed in the FCO and SPA on a per-transaction basis.

Section 3

Compliance note

  • Internal approval required

    All transactions are subject to internal compliance review, KYC verification of the buyer and producer approval before any FCO is issued. The trade desk reserves the right to decline any inquiry without providing justification.

  • Serious buyers only

    Inquiries must originate from end-buyers or duly mandated representatives with verifiable proof of funds and operational capacity. Time-wasters, unverified intermediaries and circular brokers will not be processed.
