- Shipbroking Excellence Training (UAE)
-
Feb 11, 2009 - Feb 12, 2009,
Dubai, United Arab EmiratesShipping is an extremely important part of the global trade and whilst it is obvious that large volumes of various commodities are transported everyday from country to country, the process involved behind the transportation is very crucial. How does one find a ship to carry the cargos that have just sold to an overseas buyer? The answer is talk to a shipbroker.
The role of a shipbroker is the intermediary between a charterer, who owns the cargo, and a shipowner. Shipbrokers assist charterers and shipowners in negotiating the terms and conditions of the movement of cargo. He or she will be involved in many stages in the deal: presenting the business to potential client, negotiating the main terms of the fixture or sale, finalising the details of the contract and following the deal through its conclusion. Upon completion of the freight deal, the shipbroker will send out a recap of what both parties have agreed.
At the 2 day Shipbroking Excellence Training, delegates will have a clear picture on the overall shipping market performance. They will come away with a wealth of knowledge on current issues that needs to be addressed effectively and the sort of flexibility that must be practiced to be profitable and meet the needs of clients. In addition, delegates will have the opportunity to network and learn with other peers from the industry with keen insights and valuable experiences. - full details
