BQCIS — Allocation Transparency
|
In multi-user terminals and shared storage facilities, allocation disputes are one of the leading causes of delays, financial losses, and strained commercial relationships.
BQCIS provides impartial allocation transparency services that ensure every participant’s rights are recognized and validated under globally accepted standards.
Our oversight protects both commercial stakeholders and regulatory authorities by offering defensible allocation records.
Why Allocation Transparency Matters
- Multi-user terminals often face conflicts over line-fill, ullage, and product allocation.
- Without third-party validation, discrepancies can lead to mistrust and arbitration cases.
- Allocation transparency ensures operational efficiency, financial accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
Our Methodology
- Independent validation of capacity rights across all clients.
- Real-time tracking of line-fill and ullage allocation.
- Allocation reconciliations issued after every transfer session.
- Secure reporting aligned with ISO 9001 and ICC trade finance practices.
Case Example: Multi-Client Tank Terminal
At a West African tank terminal handling multiple international traders, disputes regularly arose over storage and transfer allocations.
BQCIS introduced an impartial allocation protocol:
- Neutral validation of client nominations and capacity rights.
- Transparent recording of ullage allocation across all tank farms.
- Daily reconciliation reports shared with all counterparties via the BQCIS Client Portal.
- Disputes reduced by 87% within the first quarter of implementation.
