Scheduled Ethylene Term Supply
A scheduled ethylene programme aligns recurring purchases with plant demand and receiving capacity. Zenith Eclipse reviews term enquiries against an agreed quality schedule, nomination process and feasible logistics capacity; a term contract does not create a different ethylene grade.

Applications
Common uses
Recurring procurement for polymer and chemical plants that need a coordinated feedstock schedule. The programme can support a defined base volume with separately agreed flexibility. Buying detail: Submit a monthly demand forecast, minimum receiving parcel, planned shutdown dates and acceptable origins. Specify which forecasts are indicative and which nominations become binding, together with payment and credit requirements.
Export planning
Shipping & logistics
Each nominated movement uses an approved pipeline or gas transport route, with receiving capacity and shipment documents confirmed. The contract names the transfer point and applicable Incoterm for each movement. Marine terms such as FOB, CFR or CIF are considered only for suitable gas-carrier transactions; recurring equipment or terminal capacity is subject to confirmation.
