only charterers or shipowners with no brains will use broker with no brains. this apply to this author who wrote this statement. but to be fair to the author, since he say he work in a commodity house, he is facing those freight future brokers (who are different category).
shipbroking is a highly skilled job that need the technical know how. there are so many terminology to know and negotiating terms on the contract etc...
to progress from a trainee to full pledge broker - normally take about 2 years.
but importantly is to have your first customer.
work hours can be from 8am to 8pm or anything upto 2am
