The enquiry lands on WhatsApp. AnchorageDesk runs everything after — the formula quote with the margin floor, the sanctions gate on the receiving vessel, the stem, the drop, the hash-sealed BDN, and the PINT-AE invoice. One desk. One deal object.
Three to twenty-five seats. One to four barges — owned or chartered — a truck fleet, or both. Sharjah, Hamriyah, Khorfakkan, Fujairah, Jebel Ali, Sohar. You already run the deals. AnchorageDesk just stops them leaking.
Deliveries at OPL and inner anchorage. Your day is prompt windows, surveyor calls, and figures scribbled at 02:00. The BDN writes itself at the drop.
In-port supply by road tanker. Berth windows, gate passes, three trucks and a meter that has to agree with the chief engineer. Every litre ticketed.
Diesel to construction sites, factories and fleets. Keep-full tanks raise their own orders from telemetry; drivers ride free — only desk seats bill.
A deal physically cannot move to STEMMED unless a timestamped screening block exists — receiving vessel IMO, counterparty, UBO, list versions, AIS flags. The record is hash-sealed and append-only. When your insurer, your bank, or a regulator asks how you screened, the audit trail is the product.
Every quote is built from your formula — index plus premium plus delivery — and cannot go below the floor without a named, logged override.
Live open exposure per counterparty checked at quote time. The desk sees the headroom before it offers, not after the drop.
Consolidated OFAC · EU · UK · UN list matching plus AIS dark-period flags on the receiving vessel. Timestamped, hash-sealed, append-only.
MARPOL-compliant, hash-sealed at the drop, verify-QR on every note — structured on the IMO eBDN data set, so your delivery records read like collateral, not paperwork.
Truck dispatch, meter start/stop, photo ePOD signed on site, keep-full tanks raising their own orders. Field users never consume a seat.
The invoice is generated from the same deal object and transmitted as structured XML through an accredited ASP. No re-keying, no PDF theatre.
Banks now finance marine fuel against verified digital delivery notes — while studies found roughly 3% of recorded deliveries in major hubs were never pumped at all. The Bank-Ready Pack exports any deal as one sealed file — screening certificate, eBDN-structured delivery note, invoice, audit chain — that a financier, insurer, or auditor can trust without a phone call. Working capital follows clean records.
Enterprise ERPs run the majors. The new bunker suites digitise marine paperwork — and stay silent on screening and land. e-BDN tools document the drop. Screening tools score a counterparty and stop. Dispatch tools move trucks in Texas. AnchorageDesk is the only desk where the compliance record, the margin floor and the invoice are the same object as the deal.
We read the live job postings this market runs on — bunker traders, ops executives, land-side sales, credit control. Tap a role to see what the desk absorbs, what it accelerates, and what stays exactly where it belongs: with your people.
A direct-revenue role — yet the market's own postings demand "book-keeping and timekeeping" as essential attributes. You're paying trader money for a part-time clerk.

STAYS HUMANA third of a AED 30–45K/month trader JD is clerical — post-fixture, CRM, book-keeping. The desk hands it back to trading, where the margin actually lives.
The documentation core of ops and credit — BDN review, re-keying, aging reports, statements — becomes a property of the deal object instead of a job description.
Your next ops hire costs salary, visa, and 24/7 shift cover. Two founding Supplier seats cost less — and never mis-key an IMO at 02:00.
Desk seats bill. Barge masters and drivers ride free. Minimum two seats, annual pays ten months, screening overage $6. The first ten desks sign as founding desks — half price, for life.
E-invoicing waves, supplier-side sanctions liability, meter mandates spreading port by port. Every date below is a conversation your buyers and your bank are already having.
The pilot phase is live. Voluntary adopters carry zero penalty exposure.
Large taxpayers must appoint an Accredited Service Provider. This month.
Bunkering services to shadow-fleet vessels become sanctionable conduct.
Structured PINT-AE XML only. PDF invoices stop being invoices.
ASP appointed by 31 Mar 2027; structured XML only from 1 July — whatever your size.
Paste an IMO number and get a list-only indicative check — the same four consolidated lists the gate runs, watermarked and dated. See what your counterparty book looks like through the gate before you put a single stem through it.
