& Logistics Pty Ltd
Depth. Precision. Global reach.
Independent fuel procurement brokerage for Australian fleet operators and construction businesses. We run the procurement process end to end, qualify suppliers from our screened panel, and negotiate from market benchmarks. Our commission comes from the supplier. Your cost is zero.
Fleet operators and construction businesses across Australia are paying above-market diesel prices. Not because the supply isn't there, but because qualifying a better deal takes time most procurement teams don't have.
Stratum Energy runs the full procurement process on your behalf. We qualify suppliers from our screened panel, price against Platts and ICIS benchmarks, and manage documentation from term sheet to signed contract. When a deal settles, the supplier pays our commission per litre. There is no cost to you at any stage.
Our primary product is EN590 diesel for road transport and construction operations. We focus on Victoria as our primary market, with coverage extending to New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia.
"Independent fuel procurement expertise for Australian businesses, where depth of knowledge meets precision of execution, at zero cost to the buyer."
Stratum Energy Positioning StatementRoad transport and construction fleet operations. We understand volume requirements, delivery logistics, and terminal access across Australian markets. Spot and term arrangements both handled.
Every counterparty on our panel passes AUSTRAC compliance review, OpenSanctions screening, and beneficial ownership verification before introduction. This runs before the deal, not after something goes wrong.
We price every enquiry from Platts and ICIS published benchmarks. There are no house margins built into the indicatives we show buyers. If your current rate is below market, we will tell you that too.
From first indicative to signed contract, we manage the documentation process. Term sheets, supply agreements, and delivery instructions are structured to protect both parties and close without ambiguity.
Tell us your volume, delivery location, and timing. Road tanker or pipeline terminal. Spot cargo or term supply. There is no obligation to proceed beyond this first conversation, and we ask questions before making any introductions. The more specific you are about your situation, the more useful our response will be.
Every supplier on our panel has cleared AUSTRAC compliance screening, OpenSanctions database checks, and sanctions list verification before introduction. We price from Platts and ICIS benchmarks. No house margins. No inflated indicatives. The rate you see reflects what the market is actually clearing at, not what we think you will accept.
When terms are agreed and contracts signed, the supplier pays our commission per litre. You pay nothing at deal stage and nothing at settlement. Our only income comes from a completed transaction. That structural alignment means our incentives are exactly the same as yours throughout the entire process.
Our compliance process runs before introductions, not after. Each prospective supplier on our panel undergoes AUSTRAC obligations review, OpenSanctions database screening, and trade sanctions verification. Under Australia's AML/CTF Act, facilitating a transaction with a sanctioned counterparty is a criminal liability. We treat it accordingly, and we expect the same standard from every counterparty we bring to you.
Every pricing indicative Stratum provides is referenced against Platts and ICIS published benchmarks. There are no house margins built into the rates we show buyers. If you have an existing supplier relationship, we will give you an honest read on whether it is competitive. This approach costs us deals we could otherwise win on information asymmetry. We are comfortable with that trade-off.
A commission-only model creates a useful discipline. There is no benefit to us in bringing you a deal that does not work. We make nothing on a transaction that falls over at the contract stage. That structural alignment is more durable in practice than any service-level commitment, because the incentive operates continuously, not just when someone is checking.
This is our operating principle and the sequence matters. We do not make introductions until the compliance documentation is complete. We do not discuss commission until the deal is real. This is the standard of an international trade desk, not an informal referral arrangement, and it is the standard we apply to every enquiry regardless of the size of the deal.
Our supplier panel draws from physical refinery-origin supply across four markets. This is not a network of aggregators. Each source is a direct refinery or primary trader relationship.
Jamnagar is a deliberate strategic position. When Korean or Singaporean supply is constrained by regional refinery maintenance, shipping disruption, or sudden demand spikes, most brokers operating in Australia lose pricing leverage. Jamnagar gives us an alternative route to market through Reliance Industries' 68 million tonne per annum refinery complex at Jamnagar, India, and that routing option changes the negotiation dynamic significantly.
The panel is not static. Supplier qualification is a continuous process, and we add supply sources as they clear our screening framework. Volume, pricing, and available grades are verified on every enquiry against current market data, not against a panel that was last reviewed six months ago.
We enrolled with AUSTRAC before making any commercial introductions. Compliance is not a box we tick to unlock commercial activity. It is the prerequisite that determines whether we operate at all.
Stratum Energy and Logistics Pty Ltd is enrolled with AUSTRAC under Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act. Full registration was assessed and enrolment was confirmed as the appropriate obligation level for our operating model before any commercial activity commenced.
All prospective suppliers are screened against the OpenSanctions database, which aggregates over 100 global sanctions lists and politically exposed persons registries. Screening runs before any commercial introduction and is repeated at deal stage. A clear screen is a condition of panel inclusion, not a courtesy check.
Beneficial ownership documentation is required from all suppliers during qualification. We verify corporate structure independently through company registries and do not proceed on the basis of self-certification. If the ownership structure cannot be clearly established, the supplier does not join the panel.
Every supplier introduction, screening record, and compliance correspondence is maintained in a structured compliance file. Correspondence is routed through dedicated email channels specifically for AML/CTF audit traceability. The record exists before we need it, not because a regulator has asked for it.
Stratum Energy and Logistics is an independent wholesale fuel procurement brokerage based in Melbourne, Victoria. We are commission intermediaries. We do not hold fuel, we do not warehouse inventory, and we do not operate tankers.
What we do is run the procurement process. That means qualifying suppliers from a screened panel, pricing from market benchmarks, managing documentation, and negotiating terms. The capital-light model is deliberate. It keeps us structurally independent of any single supplier and means our only financial interest in any deal is whether it settles at the right price for both sides.
We are a pre-revenue business at launch and will say that plainly. Our first anchor client relationship and first commission transaction is the current operational priority. The compliance framework, the supplier outreach, and the deal infrastructure are in place. What we are building now is the commercial track record.
Leads all commercial activity, client acquisition, and supplier outreach. Primary point of contact for all buyer and supplier enquiries. Manages deal negotiation and documentation from term sheet through to contract execution.
Manages supplier qualification research, sanctions screening, AML/CTF compliance, and all regulatory correspondence. Compliance enquiries are handled through email for AML/CTF audit traceability.
Whether you manage a road transport fleet, a construction site operation, or a mining camp, if you are buying diesel in volume, we can run the procurement process. No commitment required to have the first conversation.
Suppliers interested in joining our qualified panel are also welcome to make contact. The qualification process involves documentation and screening. It is not a quick process, and we do not apologise for that. It is what makes the panel useful to buyers.
