What is Petroleum Coke?

Petroleum coke is the solid carbon product of the delayed coker — a high-calorific fuel used by cement kilns, power stations and lime plants, and (in higher purity grades) as anode material for aluminium smelting. We principally trade fuel-grade petcoke in bulk carrier parcels. Buyers of other solid commodities also see Sulphur Granular and Urea 46%.

Typical specification (fuel grade)

ParameterTypical value
Fixed carbon≥ 85 % typical
Sulphur content4 – 7 % per origin
Volatile matter8 – 12 %
Moisture (as received)≤ 8 %
Ash content≤ 0.5 %
HGI (grindability)≈ 35 – 70

The contracted analysis is fixed in the SCO/FCO and certified by SGS/CIQ at loading; sulphur class per origin.

Supply & delivery terms

How a transaction works

The standard sequence applies: ICPO → SCO → FCO → SPA → POP against payment instrument → inspection at loading → delivery CIF or FOB. The full walkthrough is in the oil trading procedure guide; delivery-basis trade-offs are covered in CIF vs FOB.

Frequently asked questions

What grade of petcoke do you supply?

Fuel-grade petroleum coke for cement, power and industrial combustion. Specify calorific, sulphur and grindability requirements in your ICPO and the offered analysis is fixed in the SCO/FCO.

What are the commercial terms?

50,000–400,000 MT per month, CIF gross indicative USD 170 per MT; FOB liftings quoted on request. DLC, SBLC or MT103 per the SPA.

Why is FOB on request?

Solid-cargo load programs depend on terminal windows and vessel gear, so FOB is structured per transaction rather than at a standing indication.

How is the cargo verified?

SGS or CIQ samples and certifies the analysis at loading at the seller's expense — proximate analysis, sulphur, moisture and sizing per the contract.

How do I order petcoke?

Issue an ICPO with monthly quantity, required analysis and discharge port via the quotation form. An SCO follows within 24 hours on business days.
