Punga Trading was started in 1995 in South Africa. We were originally a trading house dealing in food and grocery items. In 1998 we shipped our first container of ethanol. Due to our service and quality products, our reputation grew by referral. We have built our volumes consistently every year for the past 10 years and are committed to building long term relationships with clients and suppliers. In 2005, due to foreign exchange controls in South Africa limiting our international trading expansion, we relocated our main operations to New Zealand. We still have an office and operation in South Africa.

Quality control:

Quality is of paramount importance to us. Testaments to our quality are clients who have purchased regularly for 10 years. We do not sell poor quality. If you purchase from us we go to great lengths to ensure the quality is consistently superb. Control Union / Cotecna is our global pre-shipment inspection agents.

Every single container/tank is tested, inspected and sealed by Control Union / Cotecna. Each consignment receives a certificate of quality and quantity. Due to our global volume, we have negotiated competitive inspection fees, which we bear. The client is welcome to use any inspection agent of their choice at their own cost in addition to Control Union / Cotecna.

Hazardous Information:

UN 1170, IMO 3, PKG GROUP : II, IMDG No.:3219, FLASH POINT : 13 D.C

Transport:

Ethanol is transported by the following methods : Kegs, drums and IBCs packed in 20ft general purpose containers. Generally we can load from 16000ltr to 22125ltr per 20ft depending on the packaging configuration. Isotanks : 16000 to 24000ltrs are loaded into an isotank - depending on the isotanks capacity and rating.

Part vessel loads : Generally minimum load is 4000mt

Full vessel load : 4000mt (if a small vessel with suitable stainless steel tanks is available) to much larger vessels.

In vessel loads it is important to have stainless steel tanks on the vessel in order to minimise contamination of the ethanol by prior cargos. It is also important to check the prior cargos as some will still contaminate the ethanol despite careful cleaning.
