EOT

What EOT does

EOT Co. Ltd. is a Dubai-headquartered commodity trading and brokerage firm that procures and supplies marine fuels, coal, coke, and scrap metal to industrial customers. Founded in 2009 as a marine fuel focused brokerage, the company has since broadened into a multi-commodity trading entity serving four primary verticals: maritime operators, aluminium smelters, steel manufacturers, and cement producers. Physical bunker operations are conducted across five regions — the Mediterranean, Continental Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean, and Asia — and the company maintains a DMCC-licensed branch (licence DMCC-31343) at AG Tower, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai, supplemented by a Denmark-based office handling bulk commodities.

The product portfolio is organized into four core lines: marine fuels (VLSFO, HFO, MDO, LSMGO, MGO, and lubricating oils), coal (steam coal, coking coal, PCI, and carbon dust), coke (petroleum coke, blast furnace coke, nut coke, and coke breeze), and scrap metal (HMS 1, HMS 2, shredded scrap, and rails). The company claims more than a century of collective physical commodity trading experience and more than 20 years of heritage in the marine fuels sector. No proprietary technology platforms, digital tools, apps, or APIs are described; the operating model relies on direct enterprise relationships, in-depth product knowledge, and physical supply capabilities rather than on technology-driven differentiation.

The revenue model is transaction-based, with the firm earning spreads on physical commodity trades between counterparties. Go-to-market is sales-led, with a corporate website (eot.ae) acting as the primary inbound surface and direct sales relationships driving outbound activity. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. There is no public ownership, no funding history, no M&A activity, no listed customer logos, no patents or trademarks, and no disclosed revenue. Headcount is in the 1-10 range and the leadership team includes founder and owner Wilf Laugher (Marine Fuels, UAE) and Rune Zeuthen (Bulk, Denmark).
