JCtrans Regional Conference · The Venetian

The United States

Everything WorldZone has on the US market in one place — the three cities that were scouted, the licence registry behind them, and what to say in the room.

What to open with in Las Vegas
  1. The polymer lane. GCC polymer is— a year and Saudi Arabia alone is— of it. It sells EXW and FOB, so thebuyer appoints the forwarder — every tonne needs an origin agent in the Gulf. The numbers →
  2. Balu runs Saudi. He is not describing someone else's market; the largest manufactured export stream in the Gulf is his desk.
  3. Over 25 years, all six GCC countries and India. The Director's own words — not "agents", Overseas Partners.
  4. We bring cargo the other way too. Plenty of export cargo moves from this side — the relationship is two-directional, not a one-way ask.
The attendee list is live — who is actually in the room
Everything below is the FMC licence registry — who is allowed to forward freight in these three cities. The room itself went up on 9 Aug:— registrations from— countries,— with a booth —tiered the Rome way, with the must-meet twelve and their ready-to-send meeting asks.

In our own networks already — the warmest introductions
US firms that hold an FMC licence and are WCA members. WorldZone is a WCA member too, so these are member-to-member introductions, not cold approaches. The ones also on JCtrans can be reached a third way — and some of them are walking into Las Vegas.

What this is, and is not.FMC and WCA share no identifier, so a firm is matched to its WCA listing bynormalised company name. That means this list is a floor, not a total — any firm whose licence name differs from its WCA listing is missed, silently, and cannot be counted. A firm is counted onceeven where it holds several WCA branch listings. The WCA harvest currently covers — countries; a firm absent here may simply be in a country not yet read.
The three markets scouted
Licensed means matched against the FMC OTI registry — the one fact here a US counterparty can verify independently.
