A new Dubai house.
Three decades of carbon behind it.
Radiant Trading Co. was founded in Dubai in 2024 by partners who spent the previous three decades trading petroleum coke and thermal coal in Turkey. The move to the UAE was a deliberate next step: closer to the Gulf refineries, closer to the seaborne lanes that feed global industry, and closer to the counterparties who value certainty over volume.
We are a private, family-financed house. We hold no external equity and answer only to our counterparties and to our own name. What we built in Turkey — relationships, shipment records and a reputation for reliability — now travels under a Dubai letterhead.
Our discipline is unfashionable: we would rather turn away volume than take a cargo we cannot deliver. We do not chase spot. We do not overtrade our balance sheet. And we do not, under any circumstance, take positions we cannot finance ourselves.
Three rules
we do not bend.
Own Paper
Every cargo is financed on our own balance sheet or through committed credit lines. No third-party risk is passed to the buyer.
Named Counterparties
We onboard by referral. Every buyer and seller is known to us personally, and every trade is backed by transparent documentation.
Independent Inspection
Independent surveyors inspect every cargo at load and at discharge. No exception.
