Counterparty due diligence (KYC)
We verify identity, beneficial ownership and banking references before any transaction. Unverified counterparties are not onboarded.
Adelante Energy · Compliance
Adelante Energy trades only with verified counterparties, under standard contracts, with independent inspection on every cargo. Discipline before reward — that is how a trade should be done.
Our standards
We verify identity, beneficial ownership and banking references before any transaction. Unverified counterparties are not onboarded.
Parties, vessels and destinations are screened against OFAC, EU, UN and HM Treasury lists. We do not deal with sanctioned persons, entities or jurisdictions.
Source-of-funds and AML / counter-terrorist-financing checks apply at onboarding and are monitored through the life of the relationship.
Quantity and quality are verified by an independent inspector — SGS, Saybolt or Intertek — at load and discharge. Every cargo carries its certificate and assay.
Trades are governed by a signed sale-and-purchase agreement (SPA) with clear Incoterms; title, risk and payment terms are defined per cargo.
We operate within applicable law and decline any transaction that relies on documentary fraud, misrepresentation or unverifiable instruments.
The process
You contact the desk with the grade, volume and delivery basis you need.
Both sides exchange verifiable counterparty information and pass compliance screening.
We confirm the pricing basis (benchmark + differential) and indicative commercial terms.
Terms are documented in a signed SPA — price, quantity, quality, Incoterms, payment and inspection.
An independent inspector certifies quantity and quality; the cargo is delivered on the agreed basis.
Payment settles against documents per the contract. Records are retained for audit.
For onboarding, KYC and supply enquiries — qualified counterparties only.
