    ASWP, ASWP Worldwide, and Safe Port Definitions

    ASWP = Any Safe World Port. Used legitimately when buyer can nominate a discharge port within a region.

    A "safe port" is one where the nominated vessel can lie always afloat, free from political and physical risk. Read more verification tips at petrointermediation.com.
