About GSP PETRO
GSP PETRO — Golden Star Petroleum Group — is a full-spectrum petroleum and commodity trading company operating at the intersection of supply, logistics and commercial execution across global energy markets.
Founded on the principles of transparency, commercial discipline and long-term relationship building, GSP PETRO facilitates the trade of crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas, aviation fuels, lubricants, bitumen, petrochemicals and metal commodities across international markets.
Our position in Bahrain — a historic hub of Gulf energy commerce — and our UAE regional office provide direct access to key Middle Eastern supply corridors, while our network of counterparties spans Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. We work within established international trade frameworks including ICPO, FCO, LOI and NCNDA protocols.
We work with refineries, national oil companies, independent traders, shipping operators and end-buyers to structure transactions that are commercially sound, logistically executable and fully documented to international trade standards — from initial inquiry through to final delivery.

Our approach
Petroleum trade moves on more than product availability. It depends on verified specifications, responsive counterparty communication, disciplined documentation and a shared understanding of commercial priorities — from loading port to final destination.
GSP PETRO brings a structured approach to every buyer conversation — aligning product grade, volume, Incoterms, destination port and delivery timeline before execution begins. We coordinate across refineries, inspection agencies, freight operators and financial institutions to ensure each transaction is properly supported.
Our commercial model is built on repeat relationships. We invest in understanding each counterparty's requirements, compliance obligations and operational constraints — so that each successive transaction is faster, smoother and more predictable than the last.
Regional presence
Strategically positioned in the Arabian Gulf, GSP PETRO's dual-office structure provides direct access to Middle Eastern supply sources, regional refinery networks and the international shipping lanes that serve Asia, Africa and Europe.
Regional base
Our head office in the Kingdom of Bahrain serves as the commercial and operational hub for GSP PETRO's global trading activities. Bahrain's established financial infrastructure, proximity to Gulf supply sources and open trading environment make it an ideal base for international petroleum commerce.
Regional base
Our UAE regional office supports buyer and supplier engagement across the broader Gulf and Indian Ocean markets. The UAE's world-class logistics infrastructure, free zone frameworks and proximity to major shipping routes strengthen our ability to coordinate cross-border transactions efficiently.
