Independent Tanker Brokerage — Gulf Coast & Global
Black Foot Logistics is an independent broker for crude oil and jet fuel. We own no vessels and hold no cargo — which is the point. Nothing we put in front of you is us selling our own tonnage.
What We Broker
You hold the cargo. We work the market for tonnage that fits it — screening owners, checking vetting status and terminal limits, and putting a fixture together on terms you can live with.
Jet A-1 asks more of a vessel than crude does — coated tanks, acceptable prior cargoes, tighter quality control. Those constraints get checked before tonnage is ever offered to you, not after.
Also available — secondary service
Marine chartering is what we do. We also broker tank truck, dry van, container, reefer and LTL movements — usually as the inland leg of a cargo we're already working, sometimes on its own. If that's what you need, the quote forms cover it.
How We Work
We don't own vessels and we don't trade cargo. That independence is the whole value: when we put tonnage in front of you, it's because it fits the cargo — not because it's ours and it's idle. Before anything is offered, we look at the constraints that actually break fixtures: vetting status, terminal limits, prior cargoes, and the laycan you can realistically hold.
Vessel and routing options weighed against cost, timing, and risk — with our reasoning shown, not just the recommendation.
IMO, MARPOL, and jurisdictional requirements handled before they become delays.
Alternate routing and response plans in place before they're ever needed.
Why Black Foot
