Freight & shipping · Paid per introduction
We find oil, gas and commodity traders with cargo to move and introduce them with their permission. Our fee comes out of the commission you earn.
How we reach cargo owners
Every channel ends in one place. A freight decision-maker confirms a cargo and agrees to talk to your desk.
Researched calls to trading and logistics desks, in their language and working hours. The call confirms the cargo and who signs off on freight.
Sponsored posts and lead forms aimed by job title, company and industry. They reach the chartering and logistics heads on your target list.
Named people on our team write to decision-makers one at a time. The conversation moves to a call once there is a cargo to discuss.
Short sequences to freight buyers on your lanes, with an opt-out in every message. A caller picks up every reply the same day.

What lands on your desk
An introduction counts when all six lines are filled. Anything less stays with us until it is.
How an introduction runs
The terms are written before the first call. Your log decides who introduced whom.
Fee basis, attribution period and payment timing, agreed before any outreach.
You name the lanes, cargoes and shipper sizes. We add the companies we find.
Calls, ads and messages run until a shipper confirms a real requirement.
The brief reaches you within 48 hours of the shipper's yes.
You price and fix the cargo. We are paid when your commission lands.
Freight, last 12 months
Accepted means a desk confirmed the introduction in writing. Tonnage is what shippers stated in their briefs. Most of it loads in the Gulf, the US Gulf, West Africa, India, the Black Sea and the east coast of South America.
Commercial terms
The shipper never pays us and contracts your desk directly. Our share is settled from your commission on the business it brings.
Questions desks ask
Anything else goes to the desk by email. A person answers within a working day.
No. We introduce, and you quote, negotiate and contract. Nobody at 200 represents your desk or signs on its behalf.
Then no fee is due. You share your client list, and we check every name against it before we call.
No. Each requirement goes to one desk. Lane exclusivity is available when it is agreed in writing.
Never. Every oil brief documents where the cargo comes from. Anything touching a sanctioned party, vessel or origin stops with us.
No. LinkedIn bans bots and scrapers, and so do we. Every message comes from a named person on our team.
Usually within four weeks of agreeing terms and a target list. Seasonal cargo like grain starts faster in season.
Send the lanes you cover. Nothing starts until both sides sign.
