Ship Agency Field WorkflowThe ship agency field workflow

The shipping agency field service is the on-site field service, which is mainly responsible for the on-site business work of the ship during the port period, and acts as a bridge between the ship owner and the port, cargo party, loading and unloading company and other relevant departments and parties. Its main work can be roughly summarized as follows:

1) Before the ship arrives at the port:

Master the ship's specifications and ship dynamics, port tasks, relevant terms and conditions of the transportation contract and cost sharing, understand the matters entrusted by the ship, such as refueling and water, loading materials, repairs, borrowing, changing crews, etc., and should maintain close contact with the shipping dispatch, and work under its arrangement and command.

Understand the stocking situation and berthing plan, and get in touch with the relevant parties in advance to make preparations.

Prepare the joint inspection documents for the import and export declaration of the ship, so that the ship can pass the joint inspection smoothly after arriving at the port.

2) During the period when the ship is in port:

Understand the specific requirements of the ship, port and cargo parties for loading and unloading operations, and coordinate the relationship between all parties.

Understand the progress of ship loading and unloading day by day, report to the ship regularly, contact all relevant parties in time to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Handle other matters entrusted by the ship, keep all kinds of documents, and make records.

3) Before departure:

According to the operation schedule and plan, determine the time of joint inspection of the ship leaving the port with the port side, communicate with the captain, and make preparations before sailing.

Ensure whether all the crew members have returned to the ship, whether the required fuel and fresh water items have been completed, whether the agency items have been completed, whether the relevant business documents have been signed by the captain and first mate, whether the documents accompanying the ship are complete, and whether the joint inspection documents are complete.

4) After departure:

Send the business documents and financial documents to the relevant departments of the company for archiving and settlement, so as to do a good job in clearing procedures and voyage settlement, and handle other shipping party matters.

Most of the field work of shipping agents is transactional and trivial, so it is difficult to introduce them one by one. It is quite hard for the field staff to shuttle between the ship and the dock site, to help the shipowner and crew to do some chores, and to coordinate the relationship between the ship, the port and the cargo. The key to whether you are tired or not is to see how many ships of the company are, there is no business to do, then it is very idle, if there are many ships, there is no holiday at all.

The salary also varies from company to company, and now there are so many shipping agency companies, and the difference is also very large, so it is difficult to say. Relatively speaking, than freight forwarding.

The field is much better, but it is difficult to determine how much room for development there is, and it has to do with many factors.

Hello, I am now working as a shipping agent, first of all, this job is more hard, you have to be able to drive. It is mainly responsible for handling the border control, customs and maritime procedures for the entry and departure of ships. You can go to the shipping agency forum to learn more about it.

I would like to say that the work in the field is full of hard work. In general, it is to arrange everything before the ship docks to the shore, such as the ship has to go through some procedures when it is docked.

In general, the treatment of shipping agents is okay, and the treatment of many large companies is very good.

Each position requires a certain level of English, and if you are in the field, you must know some spoken English, and you must communicate directly with the foreign captain, but this can also be accumulated through work experience.

Future? Unless you do a good job in the future, you will be a shipping agency department manager, otherwise...

The wage standards of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises are different: if it is a foreign agent or a foreign transport state-owned enterprise unit, the salary standard is relatively high, generally around 4000, and if you are a private, it depends on how much the boss gives, and there are 3000.

If the shipping agent field staff is counting on the salary, then there is definitely no motivation, the simplest extra money is to order more cigarettes with the captain, the general joint inspection needs 6 or 8, you can ask the captain for 10 or 12, you can ask for more and better. The rest can be sold to someone else.

Now there is a clean-up agreement fee for a single voyage of ships, and this money is generally divided equally with **, in addition, if the ship is for food, or foreign crew members can get off the ship to find a bar, they can make some extra money.

The most profitable I think is the sewage oil, first of all, the money of the sewage oil certificate is equally divided with **, and secondly, the person who collects the sewage oil will also give you a benefit fee, and we are divided on our side.

The specific responsibilities include coordinating and arranging the loading and unloading of ships, supervising the safety and quality of the cargo loading and unloading process, and communicating and negotiating with customers. In shipping management, the shipping agency field service is usually responsible for the operation of the ship and the transportation of cargo, so it can be classified as a functional management position.
