Logistics Coordination. Ensuring Flawless Physical Cargo Execution.
A commercial contract is only as successful as its physical logistics execution. Delays in inland trucking, rail bottlenecks, port congestion, demurrage accumulation, or customs retention can quickly erode transaction profit margins.

FBC Trading coordinates physical logistics across every segment of the supply chain, working alongside tier-one multimodal freight forwarders, shipbrokers, port terminal operators, and customs brokers to safeguard cargo transit from origin to destination.

Our logistics coordination includes:

• Multimodal Inland Transport: Coordinating grain, mineral, and liquid transport from inland production hubs via rail, barge, and road corridors to coastal terminals.
• Port Terminal & Berth Management: Securing terminal reception windows, storage silo allocation, and prioritized vessel loading across key Brazilian ports (Santos, Paranaguá, Itaqui, Barcarena, Tubarão).
• Maritime Freight Chartering: Supporting spot chartering and contracts of affreightment (COA) for bulk carriers, containerized liner services, and chemical/liquid tankers.
• Customs Clearance & Documentation: Overseeing the issuance and endorsement of Bills of Lading (B/L), Certificates of Origin, phytosanitary certificates, and customs release documentation.
• Inspection & Quality Oversight: Coordinating independent third-party surveyance at load port and discharge port to verify weight, draft survey, and quality parameters.
