Meridian brokers fuel cargoes across SADC ports and road freight across Southern African corridors. Fuel discharged at a port becomes a road freight problem the same week, which is why one house runs both — to the same standard, with the same paperwork.
What we do
Every counterparty checked, every deal documented, every claim verifiable. That is the whole business, and it is why both desks run the same way.
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 a carrier whose registration, insurance and licence we have confirmed ourselves, and whose driver and vehicle are checked against the booking at collection. Carriers get a rate and a payment date in writing, and payment on that date.
The same on both desks, published rather than negotiated. A condition you can read before you commit is worth more than one you discover afterwards.
A vessel by IMO number and live position, its owner confirmed in the shipping registers. A carrier by CIPC registration, insurance verified with the insurer, licence disc and permits. We will show you what we checked.
NCNDA signed before parties are introduced, IMFPA filed so the commission chain is agreed by everyone in writing at the start. No introduction does any work on a handshake.
What is moving, how much, at what price, from where to where, by when, and on what payment term. One document, held by both sides, agreed before commitment rather than reconstructed after it.
Independent inspection and secured settlement on a cargo. Verified collection, position reporting and proof of delivery on a load. You are told where your goods are before you have to ask.
Every deal documented and kept. The second transaction with us starts from a file rather than from a promise, and so does any question about the first.
Why us
A small desk you can audit is worth more than a large one you cannot. We hold the counterparty checks, the documents and the record, and we will show you any of them on request.
Thirteen SADC ports scanned daily against live AIS positions. Two thousand road carriers on file with their equipment, corridors and vetting status. A load posted on this site is matched against that list within the hour. Our field guide on how the market actually works is yours for the asking.
What we sell is an introduction to an owner with a real parcel, verifiable by IMO number and live position before you spend an hour on it. We do not deal in allocations.
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.
The first conversation costs nothing and leaves you knowing more than you did — whether or not there is a deal in it.
