How to Source Reliable EN590 Diesel: A Buyer’s Guide

Introduction

It can be daunting finding reliable EN590 diesel suppliers, with fraud and substandard products putting millions of dollars at risk, and sometimes there may not even be a physical product shipped to you at all! Finding the right strategy can save you the pain of finding good quality fuel, every time!

Terra Commodities takes the guess work away from sourcing EN590. We have only vetted suppliers and refineries in accordance to compliance to our strict quality and compliance programs. Product batches are shipped with authentic inspection reports, and logistics can all be traced from origin to destination. Transparency and traceability is our priority. Our clients receive deliverables with no worries of receiving something different, every time, on time. No surprises, no shortcuts, no scams.

The EN590 Challenge

EN590 is considered the gold standard in Europe for diesel, low sulfur, and performance. However, its popularity also leads to fraud. The common mistakes which happen include.

  • Blended substitutes: Low quality fuel diluted with means to increase profits higher.
  • Fake certificates: Lab reports to show compliance with EN590’s spec fraudulently.
  • Port Swindles: Ships “disappear” from the load port, and buyers have no cargo.

At Terra Commodities we deal with risk in diesel head on. Each EN590 cargo is tested independently by trusted laboratories and the results is shared directly with you. Our logistics partners, transport fuel droplets, so they are completely traceable. We never release the funds until confirmation is received that the cargo has been loaded. So, when you deal with Terra Commodities you are not just buying diesel, you are buying comfort and security that you will receive what you have paid for.

Terra’s Sourcing Solution

We cut through the noise with a 4-step process:

  1. Supplier Vetting.
    Our network includes only pre-approved refineries and distributors. We check:

    • Production capacity (can they deliver volume?).
    • Past client feedback (any history of defaults?).
  2. Quality Assurance
    Before shipment, we require:

    • Independent lab tests (sulfur content, cetane number).
    • Batch sampling (no last-minute substitutions).
  3. Logistics Oversight
    From loading to discharge, we track:

    • Shipment routes (avoiding high-risk zones).
    • Insurance coverage (full cargo protection).
  4. Price Benchmarking.
    Too cheap? It’s probably a scam. We compare offers against:

    • Real-time market indices (Platts, Argus).
    • Historical pricing (unusual dips = red flags).

A Client’s Success Story

Maria is a logistics director based in Spain and for months she was having difficulty sourcing a reliable EN590 supplier. Ultimately, inadequate delays, poor quality, and lack of clarity from her supplier disrupted her supply chain process costing her company thousands. Once Maria began working with Terra Commodities, everything changed. We quickly put her in contact with a reputable Polish refinery and arranged for clear contract terms for Maria to understand, while providing the capability to track every shipment through direct tracking all of the way through to their tenth destination in the supply chain process. She received every shipment on time and the lab reports all stated confirmed product quality. “Finally a supplier that delivers on their promises,” said Maria. In the past, she would have to worry about unforeseeable problems in her supply chain experience, now she has a reliable and adequate fuel supplier to monitor in order to keep her company running smoothly and her clients happy.
