Pricing, Negotiation and Risk Management in Coal Contracts

Coal is an internationally traded commodity, and typically supply agreements are used by buyers (power companies, metal processors and others) to purchase coal from their suppliers (coal companies or brokers). These agreements ensure that the supply of suitable quality coal at the agreed price and volume can be fulfilled and that each party understands its rights and obligations. In recent years, standardisation and best practices in contract structure have been emerging.

With the increased volatility and the changing makeup of quality availability in the international coal markets, it is more important than ever to ensure a combination of strong contracts and watertight risk management best practices are employed. The growing liquidity in coal financial markets has made it increasingly possible to execute price risk management strategies and ensure and protect margins as a producer, trader and consumer.
The three day course will cover all key activities in coal transactions. The course is designed for all professionals involved in coal markets – buyers, sellers and traders who are interested in understanding the big overview of coal industries. The course covers pricing of the coal commodities, Negotiation of coal contracts and Risk management for contractual and market risks.
