Expertise and Services

  • Sourcing and Trading

    2Rivers’ operations focus on physical trading, underscoring our dedication to efficient and responsible sourcing and supply.

    We build long-lasting partnerships with producers and refineries worldwide, ensuring a reliable and diverse portfolio. Our meticulous selection process ensures that crude grades meet precise buyer specifications, supported by long-term, cost-effective supply arrangements. We maintain the highest quality standards through comprehensive control over lifting, refining, terminal storage, and distribution processes at every stage.

  • Terminal Network, Storage and Blending

    We operate an extensive terminal network, strategically positioned across key global locations, to handle throughput, storage, and blending efficiently.

    Our commitment to effective quality management ensures that we consistently meet customer expectations while adhering to stringent national and international standards.

    Our sophisticated blending capabilities, supported by advanced internal competences and technical facilities, enable precise and flexible operations. We expertly manage commodity availability, storing products during periods of excess supply and releasing them when demand is high, thereby maintaining a balance and ensuring reliability in the supply chain.

  • Trade Finance

    2Rivers has a strong reputation for reliability in the banking sector, maintaining long-term relationships with major international financial institutions. We manage a credit portfolio exceeding USD 2 billion, supported by leading global and regional trade finance banks.

    Our effective financial management ensures timely payments for products and facilitates financing during transit, often offering special terms to producers and refiners. This allows participants in the upstream and refining industries to allocate their capital where it is most effective – toward production and refining.

Risk Management

Physical and Financial Protection

We partner with top-tier international marine and credit risk insurers to ensure robust coverage for all trading operations, freight, and chartered vessels. Our policies protect against a wide range of potential political, operational, and financial risks. Each chartered vessel benefits from a premier charterer’s liability policy, while we maintain extensive public liability coverage to safeguard against risks to third parties. We use credit insurance to mitigate the risks of non-payment or non-delivery in open account transactions.

Price Volatility and Management

We implement conservative price risk management policies, utilizing a full spectrum of risk management tools – from basic futures and swaps to sophisticated options structures. Our derivatives turnover volume scales with our physical trading growth, reflecting our comprehensive approach to managing price volatility.

  • Logistics Operations

    Our dedicated team specializes in shipping, chartering, and demurrage, ensuring streamlined operations.

    Our multimodal capabilities enable seamless integration of inland and marine shipping for efficient, timely, and cost-effective deliveries. With an integrated approach, we provide a reliable and flexible supply chain solution tailored to each client’s unique needs, focusing on precision, sustainability, and exceptional service.

  • Quality and Quantity Control

    Our aim is to ensure that the right commodity is delivered in the required quantity, to the correct location, and at the agreed time.

    Quality control is our top priority. 2Rivers’ in-house experts rigorously monitor both quantity and quality throughout every stage of delivery, particularly during transitions between transportation modes.
