A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES Shipping Trainee with NORDEN Shipping (Shanghai)
ANNAPOLIS HELLERUP SHANGHAI MUMBAI SINGAPORE RIO DE JANEIRO SANTIAGO MELBOURNE ADD A STAR TO YOUR CAREER NORDEN Shipping (Shanghai), Shanghai is the Representative Office of NORDEN Shipping (Singapore) Pte. Ltd, Singapore, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Danish ship owner Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S, Denmark. NORDEN was founded in 1871 and operates worldwide transporting cargoes at sea. Through our intensive two-year programme as Shipping Trainee at NORDEN Shipping (Shanghai) you will be thoroughly introduced to the world of international shipping. The training incorporates both practical and theoretical aspects. Your days will be busy and interesting, and you will be working with both Chinese and international colleagues at the office. HANDS-ON SHIPPING As a Shipping Trainee with NORDEN you immediately become a performing member of the team. During the twoyear period your knowledge of our two primary business areas will gradually develop, and you will gain commercial hands-on experience with a Chartering Team and the ability to execute voyages with an Operations or Control Team. In addition, we strive at planning at least one trip with a Port Captain in a port frequently called or on board vessels sailing between various destinations. These field trips demonstrate how the loading and discharging operations of vessels take place, and how we in practice cooperate with authorities and other partners. SHIPPING THEORY As a Shipping Trainee with NORDEN you will join the theoretical training of the Commercial Shipping Programme with the Danish Shipping Academy with Shipping Trainees from NORDEN and other shipping companies globally. The Commercial Shipping Programme consists of 3 modules held in Denmark (duration 1-2 weeks) as well as e-learning courses and training in e.g. maritime economics and maritime law.
A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAMME With the Shipping Trainee Programme we want to develop world-class Charterers and Operators to ensure the future success of NORDEN. You are very knowledgeable about contracts, vessels, bunker consumption, ports and geographical conditions to optimise the voyage and meet the customers requirements. CHARTERER (CHARTERING MANAGER) As a Charterer, you find cargoes for the vessels and negotiate the freight rate. The market competition is fierce, and you need commercial flair as well as strong networking skills to succeed. Good business sense and strong negotiation skills are essential to the chartering role. You are in direct contact with the customers, and you will seal the deals. You constantly strive to keep abreast of how supply and demand of raw materials such as iron ore, coal, sugar and gasoline change and how this influences the freight market. You analyse market reports and news which enable you to make the right decisions also under time pressure. OPERATOR (OPERATIONS MANAGER) When the deal is fixed, the Operator takes over and oversees the more specific terms and conditions of the vessel s voyage. As an Operator you are organised, solution-oriented and service-minded. You are in close dialogue with captains, ports and authorities and you handle documents about the voyage. COMPETENCIES AND PROFILE The Charterer and Operator work closely together, but their primary competencies and profiles are quite different. The Charterer must have a keen nose for business and act as the sales person, whereas the Operator must have a good sense of perspective and strong organisational skills. During the Shipping Trainee Programme, you will gain basic knowledge within both areas and after completion of the programme you will, along with NORDEN find the right position for you. For both job types, your everyday life is playing in an international context, often English speaking and at high pace. GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES After completion of the two-year programme our graduates are typically offered a position within chartering or operations in Shanghai. NORDEN considers international experience an important part of our talent development therefore we offer both short and long term work exchanges at one of NORDEN s other offices in Denmark, India, Singapore, Brazil. USA, Australia or Chile.
