About Us
The house behind the slate.
Gulf Titans International trades refined petroleum derivatives from Dubai — physical cargoes, index-linked pricing, and a desk that answers. This page is how we work, stated plainly.
A trading house, measured by delivery
A trading house is only as good as the cargoes it can actually deliver. We hold positions in refined product across storage at Fujairah, Rotterdam and the Med, and we move them under laycans we can honour — not paper we hope to cover.
The desk quotes in MT or BBL against the relevant Platts assessment plus a stated differential. Every line on our slate carries an origin, an available quantity and a formula. If we can't state those three, we don't list the cargo.
How we price
Pricing in this market is a formula, not a number. A typical line reads: Platts CIF Med Cargoes 10ppm + differential. The index does the moving; the differential is where the negotiation lives. We put the formula on the table first — counterparties should never reverse-engineer our basis from a lump sum.
Platts CIF Med Cargoes 10ppm + $XX.XX/MTAnatomy of a formula — index + stated differential
Where we operate
Our corridors are the Arab Gulf, the Mediterranean and West Africa, with Rotterdam as the northern anchor. Delivery on recognised incoterms — FOB, CIF, CFR — matched to the economics of each cargo and the freight market of the week.

Leader's Message
Gulf Titans International was built on a simple conviction: in this market, trust is the only commodity that appreciates. Prices move, freight moves, arbitrage windows open and close — but a counterparty who does exactly what was committed, cargo after cargo, becomes more valuable every year.
That is the house we are building. We quote formulas, not stories. We list product we can lift, from tankage we can name, under laycans we can honour. When a counterparty signs with us, they get a desk that answers, a paper trail that stands up, and delivery that matches the confirmation.
The Gulf sits at the centre of the world's refined-products trade, and Dubai is its clearing house. Our ambition is straightforward — to be the counterparty this region measures others against.
