With a focus on operational excellence and cost efficiency, you will be empowered to make a tangible impact on daily shipping activities while collaborating with agents, transhipment ports, and senior managers.

* Support network operations by simulating vessel connections and utilisation scenarios to inform contingency planning and omission strategies.

* Produce comprehensive daily executive summaries by liaising with agency offices on market trends, cargo volume projections, and providing actionable insights for decision-making.

* Develop and maintain detailed diagrams summarising vessel utilisation across all service strings to facilitate effective cargo diversions, rate actions, and service adjustments.

* Analyse overall network utilisation data to propose proactive diversion, connection, and optimisation plans that maximise efficiency on each string.

* Closely monitor cargo connections at six main transhipment ports, issuing clear instructions based on allocations set by line managers.

* Plan and coordinate cargo diversions and rollovers by directly instructing transhipment ports to ensure optimal vessel loading.

* Identify potential missed connections early while seeking opportunities to advance cargoes for improved vessel utilisation.

* Contribute to process improvements and participate in ad-hoc projects aimed at enhancing network capacity management and controlling operational costs.

* Showcase excellent time-management abilities especially when working under pressure during peak periods or tight deadlines.

* Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications is essential for handling complex data analysis and reporting tasks required in this role.
