The markets we ship into

Each destination has its own standard, its own packing convention and its own paperwork. These pages set out what we have learned shipping into them.

Destinations

The largest single destination for Omani bitumen. Graded by viscosity under IS 73:2013, not by penetration — which changes what you should be asking for.

China, the wider Far East, West and Southern Africa and the Gulf are served on the same terms. Ask us for the destination you need and we will set out the standard, the packing and the documents before you commit to anything.
