Risk is managed before the cargo moves.

ANKOR TRADE treats risk management as a commercial discipline: no route, vessel, bank, counterparty or product origin is accepted until it can survive review.

Illustrative trading risk dashboard and exposure controls

The risks we screen before commercial commitment.

Counterparty

KYC, ownership and authority

Legal entity, UBOs, directors, signatories, operating history and document completeness are reviewed before a trade file is opened.

Credit

Payment route and exposure

Payment terms, bank route, instrument wording, credit tenor and title transfer points are checked against exposure limits.

Vessel

Ownership, AIS and port acceptance

Vessel identity, IMO, sanctions exposure, routing behaviour, prior cargo and berth compatibility are reviewed before nomination.

Quality

Specification and inspection controls

Product specs, inspection agency, sampling protocol, certificate chain and dispute process are agreed before loading.

Sanctions

Origin, title and restricted-area checks

Product origin, cargo ownership, vessel ownership, ports, banks and intermediaries are screened for sanctions and evasion risk.

Documentation

Banking and customs documents

Contracts, invoices, nominations, certificates, bills of lading, insurance and country-specific papers are controlled as one file.

No single point of approval.

Commercial interest does not override compliance, documentation or banking requirements. A deal can fail at inquiry, onboarding, contract, nomination, inspection or settlement if the file is incomplete.
