Thousand Ships Trading operates a regional trading desk focused on industrial commodities, chemical raw materials, and selected secondary feedstocks across Asia.

We bridge Japanese-grade supply discipline with ASEAN and Greater China market demand, supporting buyers and sellers through structured, compliant, and commercially viable transactions.


What We Trade

Our trading activities span a curated range of industrial and chemical materials commonly used across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, and specialty applications.

Indicative product categories include:

  • Industrial chemical raw materials

  • Specialty and intermediate chemical inputs

  • Petrochemical derivatives and additives

  • Selected recycled or secondary feedstocks (subject to specification and compliance)

Product availability varies by origin, specification, volume, and delivery window.


Reference Trading Universe

Thousand Ships Trading operates within established Asian supply chains and regularly engages materials commonly traded by regional chemical distributors and producers, including those within our ecosystem and similar platforms.

Product references are indicative and reflect market-traded categories rather than exclusive distribution arrangements.
