Meridian Petroleum Group runs two desks from one principle: verified counterparties, papered deals, and market knowledge you can check. Fuel cargoes across SADC ports. Road freight across Southern African corridors.
What we do
A broker's only asset is being worth trusting. We built both desks the same way — every counterparty checked, every deal documented, every claim verifiable.
We track product tankers across 13 SADC ports daily. When a cargo sits longer than it should, we know the owner, the parcel and the phone number — and we know which licensed importer or terminal fits it.
Shippers get matched trucks with real vetting — insurance, operating licence, references — not just a number from a group chat. Carriers get loads that pay and pay on time.
Fuel cargo or road freight — the sequence is the same. Verify first, paper the deal, execute visibly.
Fuel: IMO + AIS position + owner in the shipping registers. Freight: CIPC registration, insurance certificates, operating licence, references.
NCNDA before names. IMFPA so the commission chain is agreed by everyone up front. No handshake deals.
Fuel: product, quantity, spec, price basis, discharge port. Freight: lane, equipment, rate, pickup and delivery windows.
Fuel: SGS at discharge, escrow/LC settlement. Freight: tracked transit, check calls, POD on file, detention auto-claimed.
Every deal logged. Every rating earned. The next deal starts with a record, not a promise.
Why us
The cargo brokerage space is crowded with "brokers" who have neither cargo nor buyers. The freight space is crowded with group-chat middlemen who vanish when something goes wrong. Meridian is the opposite: narrow, deep, and checkable.
Our industry field guide covers how the market actually works — from floating storage economics to the document chain to the eight scam patterns we walk away from. Ask us for it.
We don't sell "allocations" — that language marks a scam. We sell introductions to real owners with real parcels, verifiable by IMO and live AIS position.
Every truck we book is vetted before it loads: company registration, goods-in-transit insurance, operating licence, references. Shippers pay for that check.
Need a fuel parcel moved from a discharge port inland? That's a trucking job. Need trucks supplied with diesel? That's a fuel relationship. The two desks feed each other.
Fuel cargo or road freight — the first conversation costs nothing and leaves you knowing more than you did.
