Heidmar Trading
Heidmar's freight trading business strategically aligns the interests of Heidmar and its pool members with whom it partners. Heidmar takes time charters vessels for its own account directly and by way of joint ventures and employs them in Heidmar pools alongside tonnage of the other pool members. Risk management is a key element of Heidmar's operations and trading strategy. We have dedicated freight trading and derivatives team with global coverage for the purposes of managing exposure to the freight markets.
Heidmar's risk management and trading strategy employs freight derivatives for the purposes of managing its exposure to the freight market and marine fuel derivative contracts are used to manage the fuel costs of operating our tanker vessels. These tools enable Heidmar to manage the "trading spread" over time charter hire to maximize trading profits. Freight derivatives enable the trading business to react quickly to changing spot market environment by supplementing its exposure in rising markets and reducing exposure during falling markets. Heidmar also provides its pool partners with the opportunity to risk manage their freight and fuel oil exposures using derivatives.
