01 Product
Naphtha supply overview
ALGHAF MARINE FZCO supplies bulk petroleum naphtha for international petrochemical, refinery and gasoline blending applications under FOB and CIF terms.
Available grades may include light naphtha, full-range naphtha and other transaction-specific streams. Supply is not limited to a single origin or loading location.
Non-sanctioned origin options are available for selected cargo programs, with the final grade, assay, origin and logistics structure confirmed for each transaction.
02 Grades
Light naphtha vs full-range naphtha
Light naphtha
Light naphtha typically has a lower boiling range and may offer a more paraffinic composition, making it relevant for steam cracking and selected petrochemical applications depending on the cargo assay.
Full-range naphtha
Full-range naphtha covers a broader distillation range and may be suitable for catalytic reforming, refinery processing and gasoline blending depending on sulfur, aromatics, PONA profile and other quality parameters.
Final suitability is determined by the contractual assay rather than the generic grade name alone.
See also light naphtha and heavy naphtha product sheets for grade-specific enquiries.
Petrochemical feedstock, reforming & gasoline blending
Steam cracking
Light paraffinic naphtha may be used as steam-cracker feedstock for the production of olefins, subject to plant configuration and cargo assay.
Catalytic reforming
Suitable naphtha streams may be processed as reformer feed depending on boiling range, sulfur, aromatics and other assay characteristics.
Gasoline blending
Selected naphtha grades may be used in gasoline blending programs where their volatility, composition and octane contribution fit the required blend specification.
03 Origin
Non-sanctioned origin naphtha
Non-sanctioned origin naphtha is available for selected cargo programs where buyer compliance requirements, destination rules or transaction structure require alternative origin options.
Depending on allocation, supply may be structured through UAE / Gulf, Mediterranean · Egypt, Black Sea or other approved transaction-specific loading locations.
Final product origin is confirmed in the commercial offer and cargo documentation and is not inferred solely from the loading port.

05 Delivery
Naphtha cargo sizes & logistics
Naphtha cargo size depends on grade, origin, loading program, vessel configuration and destination.
Typical seaborne parcels may range from approximately 10,000 to 80,000+ MT.
Enquiries from 5,000 MT may be considered where the applicable cargo program and logistics structure allow a smaller parcel.
Naphtha is shipped in dedicated clean petroleum product tankers. Parcel sizes, laytime and documentation are agreed in the SPA.
FOB & CIF naphtha supply
FOB
Naphtha may be offered FOB from the loading point available for the applicable cargo program. The confirmed loading port, laycan and operational requirements are stated in the commercial offer and SPA.
CIF
CIF supply may be evaluated to approved destination ports. Final pricing reflects origin, grade, assay, cargo size, freight, insurance, destination and shipment window.
Loading locations
Loading locations are transaction-specific and depend on the available naphtha allocation. Potential execution regions may include UAE / Gulf, Mediterranean · Egypt, Black Sea and other approved transaction-specific locations.
For broader execution frameworks, see international petroleum logistics.
Quality control & independent inspection
Final cargo quality is confirmed through the applicable assay / CoA and the inspection procedure defined in the SPA.
Independent inspection may be performed by SGS, Bureau Veritas, CCIC or another agreed inspection company at the contractual milestone.
Historical or unrelated CoA, SGS or inspection reports are not presented as proof of a current cargo.
Typical naphtha shipping documents
Depending on the transaction, the documentary package may include:
- Commercial Invoice
- Bill of Lading
- Certificate of Analysis / Cargo Assay
- Quantity / Quality Inspection Report
- Certificate of Origin, where applicable
- Export / customs documentation, where applicable

Naphtha frequently asked questions
Is non-sanctioned origin naphtha available?
Yes. ALGHAF MARINE FZCO can offer non-sanctioned origin naphtha for selected cargo programs and destinations, subject to grade, allocation and transaction-specific compliance review.
What is naphtha used for?
Petroleum naphtha is used primarily as petrochemical feedstock, steam-cracker feed, catalytic reformer feed and in selected gasoline blending applications, depending on grade and cargo assay.
What is the difference between light and full-range naphtha?
Light naphtha generally has a lower boiling range and may be more paraffinic, while full-range naphtha covers a broader distillation range. Final suitability depends on the cargo assay and the buyer's processing or blending requirements.
What naphtha specifications are available?
Available specifications depend on the allocated grade and cargo program. Final boiling range, density, sulfur, PONA composition, aromatics and other parameters are confirmed in the SPA and cargo-specific assay / CoA.
What are typical naphtha cargo sizes?
Typical seaborne naphtha parcels may range from approximately 10,000 to 80,000+ MT depending on grade, route and vessel structure. Smaller enquiries from 5,000 MT may be evaluated where the applicable cargo program permits.
Which delivery terms are available for naphtha?
Naphtha may be supplied under FOB or CIF terms depending on grade, allocation, destination, quantity and shipment window.
How do I request a naphtha commercial indication?
Provide the required grade, assay requirements, quantity, destination, delivery basis, shipment window and buyer company details. Following qualification, ALGHAF MARINE FZCO can issue the applicable commercial indication or firm commercial offer.
How can a buyer verify a petroleum supplier?
Buyers should verify the legal identity of the contractual counterparty, official corporate communication channels, KYC/KYB information, transaction documentation and the contractual inspection procedure. Cargo-specific operational and inspection documents are provided according to the milestones defined in the SPA.
Can you provide previous Bills of Lading or inspection reports as proof of supply?
ALGHAF MARINE FZCO does not disclose confidential documents from unrelated customer transactions as proof of a new cargo. Cargo-specific documentation, including independent inspection documents where applicable, is provided according to the milestones defined in the SPA.
Can I receive a fresh SGS report before the transaction is contracted?
A fresh inspection report relates to a specific contractual cargo. Independent inspection is therefore performed at the applicable milestone defined in the SPA. Historical SGS reports from unrelated cargoes are not presented as proof of current supply.
How are transaction funding instructions issued?
Transaction-specific funding instructions are generated only within the ALGHAF MARINE FZCO Trading Portal after the applicable contractual stage. Wallet addresses are not issued through WhatsApp, Telegram, brokers or informal correspondence.
