We are a physical trading house. We take title, carry the risk and answer for the cargo — from the load port to the bank counter.
Incorporated in Saint Kitts and Nevis and trading from New York, London and Mexico City, Vector Holdings moved 168 million tonnes of physical commodities in 2025 across the Atlantic basin, the Arabian Gulf and Asian discharge markets.
Scale buys access to cargo and credit. It does not excuse a slow answer — the desk that prices your enquiry is the desk that signs the contract and takes the call when a vessel is late. That has not changed as the book has grown.
Six books, one documentation standard.
West African and Middle East grades, FOB and CIF, priced off Platts with a negotiated differential.
EN 590 10 ppm, Jet A-1 and marine fuels. Storage and blending in ARA and the Caribbean basin.
Commercial propane and butane into regional distributors, pressurised and refrigerated parcels.
LME Grade A cathodes, aluminium, zinc and lead. Priced off the exchange, settled on umpire assay.
Copper concentrate and iron ore fines in Supramax and Handymax parcels, payable metal after TC/RC.
Voyage and time chartering, letter-of-credit review and inspection management for third-party cargo.
What went through the book last year.
Stated on a physical-delivery basis and reviewed annually. Back-to-back paper positions are excluded. Counterparties may request the underlying breakdown under NDA.
Positioned where the cargo actually changes hands.
Four offices on three continents — placed where the cargo changes hands and where the banks are, not in the cities that look best on a letterhead.
This market has a fraud problem. We work as if you have been burned before.
Most of what goes wrong in physical trade goes wrong before a barrel moves. Our standing rules are published so you can hold us to them.
