Coal moves through a long and carefully controlled journey before it reaches an industrial facility. From mining sites and export terminals to international shipping and inland delivery, every step requires accuracy, inspection and compliance. For industries that depend on steam coal, a reliable supply chain is not just helpful, it is essential.

Gsinfotechvis manages a global coal supply chain built on verified sourcing, strict safety standards and strong regulatory compliance. Here is a simple and clear look at how the company ensures quality and accountability at every stage.

Verified Sourcing Through Global Screening

Coal trading begins with selecting the right suppliers. Gsinfotechvis works with exporters who meet international safety, regulatory and ethical expectations. Before onboarding, each supplier goes through a detailed review that includes:

◾ ESG background checks

◾ Sanctions screening

◾ Credit and performance profiling

◾ Mining and export license verifications

◾ Port infrastructure assessment

This evaluation helps confirm that suppliers follow safe mining practices, legal standards and responsible operations. It also reduces risks related to unreliable shipments or non-compliant sources.

Compliance With International Safety Standards

A strong coal supply chain must operate under recognised safety frameworks. Gsinfotechvis aligns with several global compliance systems that ensure safer handling, transport and trade practices.

OSHA Compliance

Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards guide safe working environments, handling procedures and safety protocols.

SMCRA

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act regulates mining practices and land restoration. Working with suppliers who respect this helps maintain ethical sourcing.

CWA

The Clean Water Act focuses on water quality and pollution control. It ensures that mining activities do not contaminate waterways.

CCA

The Coal Conservation Act promotes responsible usage and conservation of coal resources.

These frameworks create a foundation for safety and environmental responsibility from the very first stage of the supply chain.

Material Safety Through MSDS Guidelines

Coal is handled in bulk, so proper documentation is crucial. Material Safety Data Sheets help identify safe handling practices, storage requirements and hazard management.

Gsinfotechvis maintains updated MSDS for all coal grades. This ensures safe movement from:

◾ Loading ports

◾ Vessels

◾ Unloading terminals

◾ Client facilities

MSDS documentation also supports compliance with international marine transport codes, making cross-border shipments smoother and safer.

Third Party Testing for Quality Assurance

Coal quality must meet the specifications mentioned in the sales contract. To achieve this, independent agencies conduct detailed testing before shipment.

Quality and quantity checks often include:

◾ Calorific value

◾ Moisture levels

◾ Sulphur content

◾ Ash percentage

◾ Particle size

◾ Weight verification

Agencies like SGS and Intertek perform these inspections at loading ports. Results are shared with both buyer and supplier before the vessel departs. This ensures transparency and reduces disputes on arrival.

Responsible Handling and Export Logistics

A global supply chain relies on well managed logistics. Gsinfotechvis coordinates closely with loading teams, vessel operators and port authorities for safe and timely shipment.

Key areas of focus include:

◾ Efficient loading to reduce delays

◾ Safe stowage practices

◾ Tracking vessel schedules

◾ Handling documentation at customs

◾ Monitoring unloading at destination ports

This structured approach helps ensure predictable delivery timelines for industries that cannot afford interruption.

ESG Screening and Ethical Trade Practices

Environmental, social and governance checks are becoming more important in global commodity trade. Gsinfotechvis includes ESG screening as part of its supplier evaluation process.

This includes reviewing:

◾ Working conditions

◾ Environmental impact

◾ Ethical labor practices

◾ Compliance with international guidelines

These checks help industries source coal responsibly while supporting transparent and ethical supply chains.

Why a Strong Compliance Framework Matters

Indian industries rely on coal for power, heat and large scale production. A supply chain that follows compliance standards provides:

◾ Better safety

◾ Clear documentation

◾ Reliable quality

◾ Lower operational risks

◾ Stronger environmental responsibility

With rising scrutiny on industrial fuels, companies prefer partners who follow structured processes and global regulations.

Final Thoughts

Coal trading is far more than buying and shipping. It involves responsible sourcing, accurate testing, safe handling and compliance with multiple international frameworks. A structured and transparent supply chain helps industries operate with confidence, efficiency and safety.

Through verified suppliers, global safety alignment and regular quality inspections, Gsinfotechvis manages a coal supply chain designed to support modern industrial needs while keeping compliance and responsibility at the forefront.
