Ensuring that complete documents are received from our agents in good time and that the costs/credits are correct based on tariffs, agreement and exceptions lists, any issues or failures should be escalated to management,
Tracking the container arrivals and once closer to the ETA ensuring the manifest is sent to the warehouse, container is released with the line and release provided to the warehouse and notice of arrivals are issued to all customers within the container with the correct costs as per the settlement agreement, this should be completed no later than 1 week prior to vessel arrival
Containers should be continued to be monitored up until unpack where all cargo should be either released by the release department or delivered, which would be handled by the operator,
