On an FOB Port of Point Lisas basis the seller delivers the cargo on board the buyer's nominated vessel at Port of Point Lisas; from that point the buyer bears freight, insurance and risk. That makes the quality of the load-port inspection and documentation decisive.
We do not publish a list of "jet fuel suppliers" for Port of Point Lisas. Unverified directories in this sector are full of intermediaries reselling the same offer.
