Bulk vessel

Packed to order. Shipped under any Incoterm.
We work with licensed carriers and forwarders who meet every physical, regulatory and contractual requirement on the route — and hold them to it.
Logistics
Packaging
Every bag carries the Lion Global print: brand, product, net weight, lot number and production date — so a lot can be traced back to its analysis report.
Illustrations show the standard Lion Global print on 25 kg bags and 1,250 kg big bags. Labelling can be adapted to the destination market's rules.

How an order moves
From enquiry to discharge port.

Form, purity, particle size, contaminant limits and end use — agreed in writing before anything else.
Origin
We allocate from the producing region that fits your route, timing and specification. No single-origin exposure.
Inspection
Third-party sampling and analysis at loading. Certificates travel with the documents.

10, 25 and 50 kg bags, 500, 1,000 and 1,250 kg big bags, or bulk — labelled to your market's rules.
Shipment
Container, rail or bulk vessel under FOB, CFR, CIF or any other Incoterm, on scheduled monthly liftings.

Wagons loaded from stockpile by conveyor, for inland and cross-border routes.
Container

Incoterms 2020
We contract under all eleven rules. Most sulphur trades on FOB with a named load port, or CFR/CIF with a named discharge port — and comparing offers across those terms is where most pricing mistakes are made.

Where sulphur moves
A global market, read every week.
Almost all sulphur is a by-product of refining and sour-gas processing, so supply cannot follow demand. We track every major export source and every restriction — and allocate our programmes across the ones that stay open.
