They play vital roles in the commercial shipping industry and require special skills and expertise to sufficiently meet up with their duties.

As an agent, you have to be familiar with port and customs clearance procedures in the ports. You shall liaise regularly with the ship master and crew whenever they are in port and attend to their every need, as may be required by the terms of your contract. All these are explained in this course.
