Description
In the transportation of goods by sea, the key figure of freight forwarding companies is gaining increasing importance in the context of a globalised world with high volumes of international trade. A freight forwarding company is a business which operates as an intermediary between importers or exporters and international transportation companies (by any means of terrestrial, sea or air transportation). The figure of the forwarding business is regulated by international trade law and its functions clearly defined by international trade regulations. The sea traffic controller is a professional who works for a freight forwarding company and is in charge of organising and coordinating the transportaion of goods by sea, in line with customer orders and specifications. This person is also in charge of checking the status of the goods in the logistics process, in order to allow their tracking at any given time. Depending on the size of the company s/he may be specialised in import or export operations.
