Trading Activities
Beexco’s growth strategy is focused on sustainable energy commodities and projects, implemented through geographical expansion in new markets, product diversification, and acquisitions.
Crude Oil
Expansion of our Crude Oil trading activities
Beexco LLC trades a wide range of grades from different geographic regions. Crude Oil is sourced primarily from the Far East and the Middle East, as well as North Africa and with good volumes coming out of Latin America, West and East Africa.
In 2022 our Crude activity showed a continued growth with focus on new grades and new geographic regions.
The Far East and the Middle East are the main areas of destination of our Crude Oil in 2022, while maintaining a solid presence in the Mediterranean. We kept consolidating our activity in the pipeline business in the U.S.
The Crude Oil desk also continued its growth by increasing the turnaround of its storage in the U.S. In addition, trading volumes in Singapore are maintained by the blending business of Crude Oil into very low sulphur bunker Fuel Oil.
Middle Distillates
A leading player in the Middle Distillates market
The Beexco’s global network of Middle Distillates is made up of a wide range of products with Gasoil/ULSD representing the largest share, followed by Jet Fuel.
Apart from its core presence in the Mediterranean area and Middle East, the Beexco now can consider the Americas as part of its core presence due to the consistent growth achieved in the last few years.
The Beexco has consolidated its trading business in Europe while further growth came from South America and the Caribbean.
The Beexco’s arbitrage and logistical capabilities ensure consistent and timely fulfilment of the customer’s requirements.
Gasoline
Diversifying into new markets In a very competitive environment, we maintained our market share by leveraging on our downstream system in the Eastern Mediterranean and acted as swing suppliers for the African and Arabian Gulf markets.
The Beexco entered in previous years the NWE market where it has storage and blending operations and continues to expand on its presence. The Beexco has increased its workforce in the US to grow further in both the East and West Coast markets.
Fuel Oil
A niche player in a changing market environment We have been one of the leading Fuel Oil traders in the Mediterranean since 2013. In more recent years, our Fuel Oil activities have been limited to a few countries still highly dependent on this product for their power generation and/or industrial needs.
Trading opportunities have since expanded through term supplies in other territories as diverse as the Americas, the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf and the Indian subcontinent.
As we continuously work to diversify our portfolio to include lower carbon fuels, Fuel Oil traded volumes have reduced by c.55% since 2015.
LNG
Developing liquid gas trading
Beexco LLC has developed an LNG trading desk with a dedicated team of experienced professionals and entered into a number of MSA’s with leading international and national LNG producers and suppliers.
The Beexco concluded its first LNG cargo in 2016 followed by other global deals.
We are approaching the LNG market with a strict risk management policy with the aim to gradually expand into the LNG global marketplace.
LPG
Beexco started trading LPG in 2015 and is one of the leading LPG suppliers to Bangladesh, supplying Omera Petroleum Ltd. (OPL) and other domestic LPG players. OPL is a fully integrated LPG terminal, bottling, and distribution facility in Bangladesh, which the Beexco invested in together with a local partner and an international development institution.
OPL now sells in excess of 150,000 mt p/a of LPG and is among the top three LPG facilities in the country.
From 2019 to present, we chartered a VLGC floater in the Port of Dharma, India to supply mainly Bangladesh and surrounding countries.
Using Bangladesh as a base, we have now expanded our foothold in LPG with contracts from the US to the Pacific Islands.
