Daniel B. Wind, assistant operations manager

I began my traineeship with J. Lauritzen in August 2008 and spent my first year with Lauritzen Bulkers' chartering department and are now working in Lauritzen Kosan's operations department, which I also find very exciting.

I get to operate a number of vessels on my own and take care of my own clients. Mainly I make sure that our vessels always are sailing and heading for the right locations all over the world and above all within schedule. My daily routines include keeping clients updated, claiming payment and ensuring vessel performance.

I enjoy the close contact I have as operator to various people on a day-to-day basis, the cooperation with my colleagues, business control, technicians and captains and external brokers, agents, and charterers.

Each day brings different challenges and my shipping knowledge and experience are expanding all the time.

From a personal view point it is very important that I can use my theoretical knowledge in connection with my on-the-job-training and to feel the amount of responsibility given - is great.
