Mazut Trade Finance

FG Capital Advisors supports Mazut trade finance mandates with LC and SBLC structuring, targeted bank introductions, margin-gap planning, and closing support.

Instrument Setup	LC or SBLC issuance tied to shipment and delivery windows.	Margin requirement exceeds available collateral.	Margin strategy and staged support where feasible.
Shipment And Documentation	Clean title path and compliant shipping document presentation.	Documentary discrepancies and delayed presentation.	Pre-check protocol and discrepancy response workflow.
Settlement	Controlled collection and repayment sequence.	Timing mismatch between inflows and obligations.	Cash waterfall, reserve triggers, and reporting cadence.

Why Mazut Trade Finance Files Get Rejected

Weak contract-to-instrument alignment. Payment and documentary terms conflict.
No credible margin pathway. Collateral shortfall is not solved.
Inconsistent counterparty records. Compliance checks raise issues.
Incomplete underwriting package. Missing documents stall decisions.
Unrealistic closing assumptions. Credit and legal steps need strict sequencing.
