1.1 INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT (TASK/ASSIGNMENT)
Along with the company as a broker, the overall tasks and projects are
and benefits.

which the teams need to prepared all documents such as Domestic Shipping
Licences (DSL), demurrage claims and negotiate for the pricing methods.

DAILY TASKS
Before I started doing the daily tasks, the most important things is I need to
learn the five stages of shipping operations. Where I need to study the shipping
Stage 1: negotiation/planning
The broker will find a vessel and negotiate with the owner. Shell scheduler will
give out the cargoes to the company for the whole month first, but they do not have
the vessel to perform it yet. So it is the company job to get them vessel to carry their
cargo. The company will propose the cargo-by-cargo to the owner, propose vessel to
shell/ charterer. The owner will reply and send the stowage plan and Q88 to the
charterer to let them know that the vessel able to carry the cargo.
Usually the company will receive cargo nomination from the charterer and will
receive the cargo nomination after the negotiation is done. After receiving the cargo
nomination, the company will forward it to the owner and pass to the master. So that
the master can proceed the voyage with the instruction provided and then the master
must give the ETA notice to the relevant people. Fixture note is a contract between
broker, owner, and charterer. The fixture note is signed by both parties is essentially
a simple chartering contract performed by both parties. The company needs to issue
Then, the broker, owner and charterer must know the berthing prospect before
reaches the terminal. It is a scheduled to know the number of the vessel berth. Then

the NOR (Notice of readiness) must be tendered within the laycan to avoid the risk of
cancellation of the shipment. If it is too early, she will probably have to wait. And the
company needs to monitor the loading operations thoroughly. After the cargo
discharged, the master and agent will submit the cargo documentation to all ETA
notifying parties.
After receiving the loading cargo document, the company will issue the full time
log together with the cargo documents to be sent to the charterer for the custom
clearance purpose at discharge port. After loading is done, LOI (letter of indemnity)
will be prepared and sent to the charterer to invoke it and forward it to the owner. LOI
is a letter for charterers to invoke that the vessel need to discharge the cargo at
discharge port. This indemnity got a secure which the charterer need to secure the
vessel to discharge according to the description of the bill of lading. LOI is needed for
discharge without the presentation of original bill of lading on board. Finally, the
company can issue freight invoice to the charterer once they received the bill of lading
ETA must be served to the relevant people at discharge port as listed in cargo
nomination. Broker, owner, charterer must know the berthing prospect before reaches
the terminal. NOR is tender for discharge operations. And the company must monitor
the operation thoroughly. A master and an agent will submit the discharge cargo
documents. Full time log will be prepared by the broker to the owner and need to pay
Stage 5: Demurrage
8
Demurrage can be done after the shipment completed discharge. It can be
referred from the itinerary that have been updated day by day. After know which
shipment or voyage number is completed discharging, we can proceed to print out all
cargo documents which is load port documents and discharge port documents then
After done the calculation with all documents, we need to get owner revert with
If there are NIL demurrage, the person in charge according to demurrage who
is Janny will send NIL demurrage notice by email (for non STSB and SMT) or submit
as NIL in i-demurrage system for STSB and SMT within 30 days from date of
If there is demurrage incurred, Janny will reconcile the calculation with owners
calculation. If there is any error, Janny will request owner to revise the calculation
before submitting to charterer (in order to expedite claim process). Then, Janny will
send demurrage notice to charterer by email (for non STSB and SMT) within 30 days
Last but not least, Janny will submit demurrage claim with full documents in i-
demurrage system or by email if SRC and Shell cargo within 60 days from date of
completed discharging.

Update itinerary of the vessel
Itinerary of the vessel must be updated every day which the information of the
vessel can be find at the email. The itinerary must be updated since the Shell parties
request for some vessels itinerary for the vessel related that carry their cargo. So that,
by the itinerary they will know current location of the vessel and also estimated time
An email is a medium for the all parties to get information fast, accurate and
communicate with each other to get some information. But, before I can reach the
information, the laptop or pc need to be installed with this outlook by the person in
charge.
After done installed, then I can start digging for the information to update the
itinerary.
Figure 1
The image of the outlook
I just need to search the name of the vessel and her voyage number and then
the list of the vessel will come out. Just need to filter the information and make sure it
10
After that, I can proceed to update the itinerary by using the Microsoft excel. I
That is not as easy as ABC where I need to understand the status required to
fill at the load port and discharge port. For example, move load port means that the
vessel is moving to the load port and await berth means that the vessel is berthing. At
first I always makes mistake where I always stated the wrong status just because I do
not really understand the meaning of the status first. But practice makes perfect when

After done updating the itinerary, I need to give to Atta who is Operation
Assistant that always send the itinerary at the email to the related parties. After the

Daily itinerary send in the email
After sending the daily itinerary through email, it will be print out and given to all the
colleagues as a references.
Since I already master with the itinerary, I have given a task to update the track
of the vessel. I need to update daily with the summary of the vessel tracking and
the boss.

The word marking with red colour means there is no updated of the vessels and
maybe updated from the site but still it is not the latest so still it will consider as no
update.
From this vessel tracking, I can know whether this foreign vessel enter the
Malaysian water or not. Since the vessels are foreign vessel, they are not allowed to
I get the information of the vessels by searching at the search engine and make
sure that I have enter the correct name of the vessels. And the information will appear
like this and I just fill the information in excel.

Demurrage
Since I have learned demurrage theoretically, it is easy to apply the work in real
demurrage whether there is nil demurrage or demurrage incurred. Then, I will submit

Work card need to be updated for the references of the company and no need to be
