Our Coal & Coke Product Range

Four product families, separated by what the carbon is for: making coke, making heat, or going into the furnace already coked. Open a product for its full analysis, reference methods and trade terms.

Which Carbon Do You Need?

All four are carbon, and that is where the similarity ends. What separates them is whether the coal cakes when heated, how much of its mass is volatile, and whether it has already been through a coke oven.

Bespoke Supply

Need a grade that is not on this page?

Ash, sulfur, calorific value and size fraction can all be matched from the working faces and washeries we buy from, and blends can be built to hit a target CSR or a target ash. Send us your specification with the tonnage and destination and we will confirm what is loading and when.

Logistics & Trading Terms

The commercial terms we work to on every coal and coke shipment. Anything here can be adjusted by agreement — tell us what your operation needs.

Minimum Order Quantity
500 MT for bulk vessel or a single border consignment. Truck-load quantities are available for ex-mine and border delivery, and trial tonnages can be arranged so you can burn or coke the material before committing.
Packaging
Bulk loading as standard, or 1–1.5 MT woven jumbo bags. Screened to the agreed fraction before loading, with oversize and undersize limits fixed per contract.
Incoterms & Loading Ports
EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF (Incoterms® 2020). Ex-mine either customs-cleared or uncleared, delivered to the Rimdan or Mirjaveh/Taftan border crossings, or FOB Bandar Abbas and Bandar Imam Khomeini.
Quality Certification
Batch-specific CoA with every shipment covering proximate analysis, total sulfur and calorific value, plus caking indices on coking coal and drum strength on coke. Independent inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an inspector of your choice can be arranged at the buyer’s cost.
Lead Time
7–14 days for standard grades after order confirmation; 15–25 days for custom-milled or specially packed material.
Storage & Handling
Store in compacted, sloped stockpiles and keep pile heights moderate. Fine coal oxidises and can self-heat, so long-term stock should be monitored for temperature and rotated oldest-first. Keep fines wetted down in dry weather to control dust.

Certificate of Analysis

A batch-specific CoA is issued with every shipment. Third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an inspector of your choice can be arranged at the buyer’s cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from industrial buyers sourcing coal and coke in bulk.

What is the difference between coking coal and steam coal?
Whether it cakes. Heat a coking coal and it softens, swells and fuses into a hard porous mass — that is what a coke oven is for, and it is measured by free swelling index, caking index and CSR. Our coking coal runs FSI 4, G 70 and CSR 48–55. Steam coal does not do this; it is bought for the heat in it, so calorific value, ash and sulfur are what matter. Sending steam coal to a coke oven produces a pile of breeze, not coke.
What is the minimum order quantity?
500 MT for a bulk vessel or a single border consignment. Truck-load quantities are available for ex-mine collection and border delivery, and trial tonnages can be arranged so you can burn or coke the material before committing to a contract.
Which Incoterms and delivery points do you work with?
EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF under Incoterms® 2020. For coal specifically we also quote ex-mine either customs-cleared or uncleared, and delivered to the Rimdan or Mirjaveh/Taftan border crossings, which is how most overland tonnage moves. Sea freight loads FOB Bandar Abbas or FOB Bandar Imam Khomeini.
Do you issue a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes, batch-specific, with every shipment. On thermal coal it covers total moisture, ash, volatile matter, total sulfur, fixed carbon and calorific value; on coking coal it adds the plastometric and caking indices; on coke it adds M10/M40 drum strength and CRI/CSR. Reference methods are named on the certificate — ISO 589 for total moisture, ISO 1171 for ash, ISO 562 for volatile matter, ASTM D4239 for sulfur and GOST 1186 for the plastometric Y value.
Is the analysis independently verified?
Some of it. Several grades in our files were tested by independent laboratories holding national accreditation and SGS certification, and those reports are available on request. Others are producer quality-control analyses, which we pass on as exactly that. If you need independent verification of the specific cargo you are buying, inspection and sampling by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an inspector of your choice can be arranged at the buyer’s cost, and we would encourage it on a first order.
How should coal be stored to avoid self-heating?
Compact the stockpile, keep the height moderate and slope the sides so water runs off rather than soaking in. Fine coal oxidises, and oxidation generates heat that a loose pile traps — so monitor pile temperature on anything held more than a few weeks and work the oldest material out first. Coke is more forgiving but should still be kept dry, because water in coke is a direct fuel penalty.
