Logistics Coordinator Cover Letter Example

Containers I coordinate reach the customer's warehouse on the promised date 96% of the time, because I track each one daily and warn importers early about vessel delays. I am applying for the Logistics Coordinator role at Kharekuran Freight Handling.

At Bhendkhal Freight Services I manage about 45 import containers a week through Nhava Sheva for 30 importers, from vessel arrival to delivery in Bhiwandi, Taloja and Pune. I collect the invoice, packing list, bill of lading and licenses before the vessel arrives, so our customs broker files the bill of entry on ICEGATE on time and about 90% of containers clear within 48 hours of discharge. I generate e-way bills for every onward truck, compare three transporter quotes for each non-regular load, and send customers a status email every Monday and Thursday.

Kharekuran's new Direct Port Delivery desk is the reason this role stands out for me. Last year I moved eight regular importers onto Direct Port Delivery, and container detention and CFS ground rent fell by a third, but only because their documents were complete before the vessel berthed. A desk like yours depends on collecting documents for timely bill of entry filing, which is the part of the job I know best. I learned it at Mandovra Shipping Agency as a documentation executive, preparing about 25 shipments a week, and I live in Navi Mumbai, close to both your office and the port.

Pick one regular importer and a week of its bookings, and we can walk through at interview what the Direct Port Delivery checklist would need from them. Is the new desk starting with a fixed group of customers?
