Marine Executive-Operations

About

I am a Marine Executive – Operations with hands-on experience in vessel operations, compliance, and safety management within the shipping industry. Currently working with Synergy Marine Group, I support Marine Superintendents in managing day-to-day vessel operations, technical coordination, audits, and regulatory compliance. My role involves handling QHSE documentation, PSC preparation and closure, voyage and cargo reporting, KPI monitoring, and coordination with Flag State, Class, and third-party inspections. I actively work on safety campaigns, risk assessments, hot work permits, and maintain accurate vessel data and voyage logs to ensure smooth port and operational compliance. Academically, I hold an MBA in Port & Shipping Management and was a University Rank Holder, with a strong foundation in ship brokering, chartering, liner shipping, freight forwarding, port operations, and maritime logistics. I also gained early industry exposure through an internship at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). I am detail-oriented, compliance-driven, and keen to grow in roles related to marine operations, shipping management, and port logistics. I enjoy working in structured, high-responsibility environments and continuously seek opportunities to learn and add value to maritime organizations.
