02 · The Book
Many commodities. One desk.
Timber, energy, metals, grain and aerospace — handled end-to-end through our origination and shipping desk. If it moves in tonnage or value, it sits in our book.

03 · Mandate
Originate. Move. Settle.
A single desk carries each mandate from the source through to final payment confirmation.
01 · ORIGINATE
01 · Originate
Sourced at the origin.
We sit close to producers, mills, refineries and yards across the Nordics, the Baltics, the Gulf, Central Africa and South America. Our mandates start at the buyer, then we walk them back to the right origin — never the other way around.
02 · MOVE
02 · Move
Moved with discipline.
Timber, energy, metals and grain move through established break-bulk, container, tanker and air corridors. Every cargo is documented — phyto, FSC, PEFC, FLEGT, EUTR, INCOTERMS — before it ever leaves the yard.
03 · SETTLE
03 · Settle
Settled clean.
Counterparties are vetted, terms locked in writing, payment instruments confirmed before tonnage moves. CAD, LC at sight, escrow — the structure fits the deal, not the other way around.
04 · Coverage
Global corridors.
Tonnage moves across our core corridors — North to South, East to West. Origin to discharge port, with a single point of accountability.

05 · House
A quieter kind of desk.
Axis was built for one thing: to move commodities between principals who'd rather work with one named desk than a chain of unknowns. We sit close to the mills, the refineries, the yards and the hangars, we know the captains and the surveyors, and we keep the deal sheet short on purpose.
Our mandates lean buy-side. We're paid to find the right tonnage, grade or asset at the right specification — certified, on time at the port. We're not paid to chase volume for its own sake.
Axis is part of Northforgegroup, a privately held house investing across commodities, shipping and industrial assets. The desk operates independently, with the patience that ownership allows.
