Our business
Trading, logistics and operations
Montage Commodities is a trading house and logistics specialist. We combine active trading, efficient freight and disciplined risk management into one service, from contract to delivery.
The same team runs operations and documentation through to discharge, which keeps one counterparty responsible for the goods and for the means of carrying them.
Logistics
Physical trade is decided in the logistics chain.
Chartering, freight, storage and terminal access, and inland delivery, arranged around every cargo we trade.
We build the freight, the storage and the delivery plan into each transaction rather than arranging them afterwards, so that a cargo arrives where the counterparty needs it, in the window they planned for.
Capabilities
What we arrange.
Chartering and freight
We charter tonnage and arrange freight around each cargo, matching vessel to volume, route and timing across dry bulk and liquid trades. Freight is priced into the transaction from the start, because on many flows the routing decision moves the economics more than the purchase price does.
Storage and terminal access
Storage and terminal access are arranged through established partners in the ports we work in. Montage does not own storage: we contract for the capacity a transaction needs, where and when it needs it, which keeps the structure flexible and the cost attached to the cargo.
Inland delivery and distribution
Discharge is rarely the end of the journey. We arrange onward movement by road, rail or barge to the plant, warehouse or distributor, coordinating with local partners so that a delivered cargo reaches the point where it is actually used.
Operations and documentation
Our operations run each shipment from contract to discharge: nominations, laytime and demurrage, independent inspection, shipping documents and payment presentation, with sanctions and vessel screening applied before a fixture is confirmed.

Governance and complianceQuestions we are asked
Straight answers.
Does Montage arrange the freight for its cargoes?
Yes. The desk charters tonnage and arranges freight around each cargo, matching vessel to volume, route and timing across dry bulk and liquid trades.
Where is cargo stored?
Storage and terminal access are arranged through established partners in the ports Montage works in. Montage does not own storage or terminals; capacity is contracted for the transaction that needs it.
Can Montage deliver beyond the port?
Yes. Onward movement by road, rail or barge to the plant, warehouse or distributor is arranged with local partners, so a delivered cargo reaches the point where it is used.
