Trade Structure & Financial Requirements

Trade Volumes & Timeline

• Month 1: Trial shipment of 1 million barrels
• Month 2: Increased volume of 2 million barrels
• Month 3 Onward: 6 million barrels per month (delivered as 2 million barrels every 10 days)

SBLC Requirements

• Month 1: $82 million
• Month 2 & Beyond: $164 million

The SBLC is a financial guarantee that secures the purchase and delivery of the jet fuel. The Swiss company currently lacks sufficient collateral to issue this on its own bank account and requires a financial partner to provide the SBLC.
