Maersk Group

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the entire cargo control process, ensuring timely submission and accuracy of vessel-related EDIs and load-lists before vessel ETA.
• Coordinate with shipping lines and relevant stakeholders to resolve discrepancies, including changes after cut-off times.
• Collaborate with Liner Operations Cluster and Global Stowage Planners to ensure efficient and safe vessel planning, addressing planning disturbances promptly.
• Manage vessel operations by preparing and communicating load/discharge sequences, maintaining quay-operation system updates, and ensuring prompt post-operation reporting.
• Ensure all loading documents and crane sequences are shared prior to vessel arrival and all paperwork is delivered on time.
• Maintain vessel stability and safety compliance throughout operations, continually seeking process improvements and enhancing system proficiency.
• Support overall operations goals through active participation in the Integrated Operations Centre.
  As vessel operations run continuously, vessel planning activities are performed in shifts.

Yard Planning

• Implement and maintain yard strategy via accurate container decking and terminal operating system (TOS) settings.
• Provide contingency plans during exceptions to minimize unproductive moves and maintain operational continuity.
• Ensure yard inventory accuracy between TOS and ARMG systems and monitor yard integrity and density.
• Collaborate with planning teams to optimize yard performance, equipment utilization, and strategic allocations.
• Nominate empty equipment for shipment and report regularly on yard operations metrics.
• Contribute to operational excellence through continuous system skill development and cross-functional teamwork in the Integrated Operations Centre.
  Given the 24/7 nature of yard operations, yard planners work in rotational shifts.
