Share a fun and interesting story from work?
It were days when I was unable to crack the first fixture. After chasing Pmax vessels for long, where demurrage couldn’t be covered by what charterer offered, I was jolted each time a fixture happened, and I couldn’t crack it. Tried day and night rating the vessels and then realized that an Umax can also cover the requirement of the Charterers. And the next day was my first fixture. This explained me the common say in chartering “First fixture is always special”. 😊

Weekend goes running here and there. Spare time is utilized in playing Table tennis and watching movies.

Blackhat – however one movie wouldn’t suffice…😊
