Hi all !
I'm a final year undergrad majoring in Economics and finance and due for completion this coming may( my results will be out somewhere in aug) I am pretty confident that i could secure a First class hons or at least a 2nd upper and i am very interested in getting into ship brokering line. But the downside is that -- i do not have any maritime related experience... unfortunately i couldn't get any internships from firms in the related business back then.. ( brokering, chartering,ship mgt..etc) The only experience i hav was a intern in the back office of a foreign bank.. doing mainly ops stuffs,nothing glamorous.. Would that affect my chances of getting in ? I am looking in applying to a few major shipbroking firms( foreign ones), would it b very hard for someone like me with no prior experience? I have a basic idea of what a ship broker does and what to expect and im all prepared for it.. would the firms discriminate against me becos of me lacking in experience and perhaps " relevant knowledge".. Or would it be better if i were to apply to local / SMEs firms for a start? |
Anybody knows how is it like being a junior shipbroker in a boutique firm? how's the prospect like and remuneration?

hey who ever u are get in touch. need info on shipbroking. [email protected] |
there are many different kinds of brokers and sub categories:
1. S&P / demolition 2. Chartering a. Offshore b. Tankers, bulkers, container c. Dry /wet cargo Offshore segment seems to be where the best rates are now.. most others are in a slump. A broker can cover more than one segment but there are more clearly drawn departments in the bigger brokering firms. Working for an owner, i do not like using a broker if i can help it. That said brokers always offer to bring me out for drinks and more which i turn down. Different strokes for different folks. ;) |
I am pursuing Chartered Shipbrokering course in ICS London. will i get a good job with a good pay??
