Maritime export assistant @ Marinex Logistics

About

I am a professional in International Business with solid experience in international freight forwarding, specializing in both FCL and LCL import and export operations. Over the course of my career, I have gained extensive knowledge of the logistics chain, from coordinating shipments and booking with carriers to ensuring compliance with all necessary documentation, including bills of lading, commercial invoices, and customs requirements. I am also experienced in preparing quotations and handling invoicing, while maintaining effective communication with clients, suppliers, and shipping lines to ensure efficient and timely processes. Beyond my technical expertise, I bring the key skills that every freight forwarder must have: attention to detail, strong organizational abilities, problem-solving capacity, and adaptability to the fast-paced challenges of international trade. I am fluent in English and French, which allows me to work confidently in multicultural contexts and build productive relationships worldwide. With a results-oriented mindset and a focus on customer service, I combine operational knowledge and interpersonal strengths to deliver high-quality solutions in global logistics
