Dry? Wet? Crude? Light? Agri?
So many types of Chartering Executive.
I have been in Chartering and a Charterer most of my life.
4.5 years broker $4k + big bonuses
4 years chartering executive $6k + small bonus
2 years senior chartering executive $7k + bonus
3 years assistant chartering manager $9k + bonus
6 years chartering manager $17k + bonus
8 years Head of Chartering $28k + bonus
Retired at 53, that was 4 years ago.
Salary structure may have changed since then.

You need an 'edge' to get in.
Being a roadsweeper is easy to get in - market is undersupplied with labour, present labour doesn't stay long, low quantitative rewards (poor salary) and low qualitative rewards (lousy working environment)
Being a Charterer is not easy to get into - market is saturated with labour with high qualifications and unique skill sets, people in the industry don't want to leave, high quantitative rewards (high salary a/o bonuses), high qualitative rewards (free food, free alcohol, excellent environment, command respect/authority)
So, to get in you basically need to push someone out, or fight against everyone for that 1 opening.
What is YOUR edge?

The industry is very competitive. If you are the right person with right characteristic they are hunting for, I am sure company are willing to pay that amt but make sure u have to perform well. this year is going to be tough on shipping companies. big names are having all sort of problems. People are rentrenched/looking for jobs/seeking for opportunities.
I would say if you perform, increment would be about 1k per year (or up to 50pct increase of ur salary ) and with decent bonuses (for sure it is not big- time has passed). Severe oversupply of tonnages. Remember shipping is 24/7, expect urself to work from bed/during holiday etc.... U have to enjoy it! Good Luck!

Hello everyone,
Im keen in entering this field of shipping. I have a business degree from RMIT coupled with a diploma in shipping operations from SP. I have worked about 1 year as a marine surveyor.
Any advise on making this jump towards the commercial aspect, it has been a difficult and long journey for me and I am feeling rather helpless. Any help would be much appreciated
