Processing payments on time and updating the same in system, keeping P&L up to date. Preparing laytime calculations. Working with PnI and Lawyers in case of possible / ongoing disputes. Along with the above mentioned responsibilities, doing all the tasks a Dry Cargo Operator would be required to do.

I have done Engineering & MBA, along with that I have recently completed Advanced Diploma in Ship Operations and Management from Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, UK.
