A Price Is Not a Deal

One thing physical trading keeps reinforcing for me: a price is not a deal.
The number has to work first. If it doesn’t, there is little point spending hours debating payment instruments, paperwork and logistics.
Once the economics line up, execution becomes everything – real product, the right vessel, a terminal that can perform, clean compliance and terms that both sides can actually deliver.
That is where physical trading is won or lost.
At DRAKENSBERG ENERGY TRADING, we spend a lot of time connecting supply, logistics and buyers across different markets. Opportunities can move quickly, but the fundamentals don’t change.
A workable price opens the conversation. Execution gets the cargo moving.
