Empowering exports and global logistics for African suppliers.

Handling cargo manifests and general shipping data processing.

I planned and executed sea-freight export shipments, for two key free zone enterprises. I also handled customs clearance under transit and transshipment regimes.

I facilitated international trade, by planning consolidated shipments and freight brokerage for ocean customers. I also prepared customs manifest and coordinated cargo releases from shipping lines, ensure container transfers and return of empty units.An achievement had been to have our CFS terminal included on Maersklines online ICD request form. This advertised our depot to prospective clients worldwide.
