Milling wheat, feed barley and corn from Black Sea origins including Novorossiysk, Taman and Constanța, supplied to buyers in the Gulf and South Asia. Specifications, shipment terms and destination requirements are agreed before loading.
From origin selection to discharge coordination, one team manages the six stages of your grain shipment within the agreed contract scope.
NASIF contracts Black Sea milling wheat, feed barley and corn on GAFTA-based terms. Protein, moisture, test weight and foreign-matter limits are fixed in writing before any vessel is booked.
Grain parcels of 3,000–50,000 MT are matched to suitable Handysize, Supramax or Panamax vessels. Port draft, discharge rate and crane availability determine the vessel selection.
An independent surveyor supervises every NASIF grain loading at Novorossiysk, Taman or Constanța. Sampling, weighing and fumigation happen at the load port, and the certificates travel with the shipping documents.
Bills of lading, phytosanitary, origin, quality, weight and fumigation documents are checked against the contract and any letter-of-credit requirements before presentation.
We track the agreed voyage from the Black Sea to the Gulf or South Asia and report ETA changes. Transit time depends on routing, port congestion, weather and vessel availability.
Discharge into silo, quayside bagging and onward transport are planned for the receiver’s facility. Under CFR or CIF, the buyer handles import clearance and duties; additional destination services require a separate agreement.
NASIF supplies grain from 3,000 MT part-cargoes up to full Panamax lots of about 50,000 MT. Smaller trial parcels can move in containers or as part-cargo on a shared vessel, so a first order does not have to fill a ship.
The desk trades milling wheat at 11.5–12.5% protein, feed wheat, feed barley and feed or grinding corn. Protein, moisture, test weight and foreign-matter limits are written into each contract and certified by an independent surveyor at the load port.
NASIF sells FOB Black Sea to buyers with their own tonnage, CFR or CIF to the discharge port for buyers who want one counterparty for cargo and freight, and FCA or DAP for containerised lots. The Incoterm is fixed in the contract before any vessel is booked.
An independent surveyor samples and weighs the cargo at the load port, and the quality certificate is final at loading unless the contract says otherwise. Fumigation and phytosanitary certificates accompany every shipment, and the buyer receives copies with the shipping documents.
An irrevocable letter of credit at sight is the default for new counterparties. Cash against documents or telegraphic transfer is available for established relationships. Payment terms are agreed in the contract together with the document set that triggers them.
Send commodity, grade, quantity, destination and loading window. We aim to provide an initial response within one working day, with indicative pricing subject to specifications, origin and vessel availability.
NASIF ships Black Sea grain to Jebel Ali and Dammam in the Gulf and to Karachi, Chittagong and Colombo in South Asia. Other ports are quoted on request when the draft and discharge equipment suit the parcel size.
Fumigation and phytosanitary documentation are coordinated for the agreed cargo and destination requirements. The required certificates accompany the shipping documents for the buyer’s import procedures.
Yes. Trial parcels and smaller orders move in containers on FCA or DAP terms, typically 24–26 MT per 20-foot box depending on the grain. Bulk becomes the economic choice above roughly 3,000 MT.
NASIF’s own chartering desk in Istanbul and Dubai fixes the vessel for CFR and CIF sales, from Handysize to Panamax. The buyer receives the vessel nomination, laycan and ETA updates from the same counterparty that sold the cargo.
Send grade, quantity, destination and loading window to discuss suitable origin and freight options.
