Metallurgical Coal
Supplying the raw materials that underpin steel production
Cratus is active across the metallurgical coal market, connecting producers with steelmaking customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Our capabilities include physical trading, long-term offtake and marketing arrangements, prepayment and working capital solutions, logistics and direct placement with end users.
We work across a range of metallurgical coal qualities and structures, allowing us to respond to the particular requirements of both producers and steelmakers.
Thermal Coal
Connecting reliable supply with Asian energy demand
Cratus trades thermal coal across major Asia-Pacific markets, working with producers, utilities and industrial customers.
Our integrated approach allows us to support transactions from mine and stockpile through to port, vessel loading and final delivery.
Alongside physical trading, Cratus can provide financing, logistics and long-term marketing solutions to resource owners seeking dependable access to international markets.
Iron Ore
Connecting iron ore supply with Asian steelmaking demand
Cratus sources and markets iron ore for customers across the Asian steel industry.
Through our relationships with producers, traders and steel mills, we can structure physical supply around customer requirements, including different grades, specifications and delivery structures.
Our wider logistics and financing capabilities allow us to support transactions beyond traditional commodity trading.
Nickel
Supporting the evolving Asian nickel supply chain
Cratus is developing its participation across the nickel value chain, with a particular focus on Indonesia, China and the broader Asian market.
Our activities can include physical trading, offtake, financing and resource-linked opportunities, supported by relationships across mining, processing, logistics and end-user markets.
This regional network gives Cratus the ability to participate at different points within an increasingly important global supply chain.
Bauxite
Connecting resource supply with the Asian aluminium industry
Cratus is active in the sourcing and marketing of bauxite for customers across the Asia-Pacific region.
Our regional network supports commodity origination, logistics, financing and end-user placement, particularly across major Asian refining markets.
We work with producers and customers to develop reliable supply structures tailored to individual market requirements.
Additional Capabilities
Finished Steel
Extending our capability downstream
In addition to raw materials, Cratus has the capability to source and supply finished steel products through its relationships with steel producers and customers across Asia.
This provides customers with access to both the raw materials used in steelmaking and selected downstream steel products.
More Than Commodity Trading
An integrated approach to physical markets
Cratus combines commodity trading with capabilities across capital, logistics and resource development.
This allows us to work with counterparties on more than individual cargoes, developing longer-term commercial structures around the needs of producers and customers.
