Physical Iron Ore

Physical Iron Ore

For producers, traders and consumers, the key to the FIS physical commodity service is depth of experience. As a result, we are always in a position to advise customers on how to develop a risk management strategy for commodities and freight that suits their needs.

Moving Ore to China

For clients moving ore into China, FIS' bilingual Asia-based staff have close and long-standing relationships with steel mills and other cargo receivers in the country and are perfectly placed to assist with marketing cargoes.

Our local knowledge of the mills and their production and capacity can help to target products and shipments to the right destination at the right time.

Selecting the point of entry into China can be as important as choosing the right partner. With port congestion common, FIS can advise on how to minimise delays and demurrage and save on additional logistics costs.

When customers need a door-to-door service, FIS can also recommend local transport partners to manage their shipments. Our cargo marketing includes a full 'after-sales' service and can include followup with cargo receivers and users to provide feedback to the customer and leads for subsequent shipments.

Activities in the Middle East and India

The FIS Dubai operation manages product-sourcing requirements for customers who trade and purchase bulk commodities and works closely with shipowners and operators with a presence in the Middle East and India.

The Middle East is home to some of the world’s largest producers of fertilizers and is one of the largest consumer importers of steel, coal and other raw materials. India represents the third-largest exporter of iron ore in the world.

FIS can assist in sourcing coal and iron ore on behalf of steel mills, cement factories and pelletizing plants. Our product sources extend from the mines themselves to trading houses based in and around the regions.

Similarly, FIS can manage freight requirements for clients who deal in these raw materials and semi-finished products, procuring cargoes for freight departments to market to their owners.
