Objective
Experience in CASP stowage systems. Willing to assist you in your vessel planning needs. I am located in NJ, near the ports to provide exceptional hands-on service. I am very familiar with port operations, ILA contracts and vessel planning strategies that are optimal for your company and budget. Knowing that outsourcing the vessel planning may save payroll costs, the overall lack of direct communication and human interaction costs the company more expenditures in the long run.
No need to outsource your vessel planning. I am here, when needed, at any time. My rates are negotiable.
