We work very closely with our suppliers to mirror
their procedures while preserving the essence of our role as resellers when taking
ownership of the commodity, even if only briefly, to deliver it to the
buyer.
The integrity of the process concerning the supplier is safe
guarded first by the compliance executed by REM and the financial/banking system. At
the legal level, all contracts are reviewed by our expert Oil & Gas partner law
firm and executed under International Chamber of Commerce
Rules.
Operationally, we are supported by a close relationship with the
globally recognized independent surveyor, SGS, which assists REM in verifying the
quantity and quality specifications of the commodity at any world port. We also work
with several global logistical operators who assist in the physical and title
verification of the commodity in tank farms and vessels through our joint venture
partners in Rotterdam, Houston, Fujairah, and Hamriyah.
At the
transactional and financial level, all transaction documentation (KYCand agreements
with all parries) is submitted for approval by the financial/banking system. The
financial structure and instruments are agreed upon between bank institutions. The
Proof of Product (POP) is receiving from our partner suppliers on a bank-to-bank
basis and verified accordingly. The Proof of Fund (POF) is sent on a bank-to-bank
basis via SWIFT by MT199 or MT799. For Long-Terms SPA we can provide BG or SBLC via
SWIFT by MT760. Finally,payment for the commodity is primarily executed only after
receiving payment from the buyer by via SWIFT by MT103. After this, the title and
risk of the commodity are transferred to the buyer upon lift or delivery.
