Candidate’s words

After a long experience of 25 years during which I encountered many disputes between ships and receivers, shippers, customs, stevedores, port harbor and other port, bank, civil authorities related to maritime; I can say that I have the necessary assimilation of the know how to deal with the different concerned parties. This gives results of high appreciation and full satisfaction of the clients (ships’ owners/charterers, and other concerned) on the operational and financial levels. Ie, clients are to be fully satisfied for the quick dispatch of their ships/products with competitive invoicements, The above leads you to keep a constant connectivity with ship owners operators & charterers, also sellers and buyers.

Furthermore, my target as agency manager is not only to satisfy the clients but to keep them always fully satisfied which will give a good opportunity to look for more ambitions for the continuous evolution & progress of the company you work for and yourself.   

The know how to deal with people on personal and social levels in addition to your own competencies, aptitude, and willing to achieve a commercial goal constitute the key elements to convince your client to try your good product, ie, your good service which offers you a continuous evolution to up rank the market. 

Some words about my hobbies, I’m athletic, I like sport and I practice whenever I have free time. I play football; I like swimming.
