okay..... today had my first scolding from my manager...

i cant believe i'm such a klutz...

alrdy, for my previous vessel i forgot to include in my company's cargo and thus they end up having to miss out on 2 voyages....and the nxt vessel the cargo is going on, is the current vessel i'm handling.... but that, was no problem...cuz this time sam and i did double checks and everything was in order.

But just as i expected...i can nv heave a sign of relief...cuz each time i did it....another problem arose....

take yst as an example.... sam spotted a mistake in the POD for one of the shippers....so i had to call up PSA and get them to change in on portnet for us....but that wasnt a big issue...cuz the vessel wun be calling at the mistaken port anyway....its just for documentation purpose...

but sigh....didnt it occur to me that i should have checked through my other bookings to make sure all the port of destinations are correct? no...apparently it didnt....

and guess wat happened? today the vessel came into port.....only to have the yard call in and told me there's a discrepancy between the shipper's shipping order and my booking forecast.... after doing some frantic checks, my entry on the forecast is the wrong one....

wats worse....its a breakbulk cargo...which means everything would be pre-planned so that the cargo have a particular place to be stowed away on the vessel.... this mistake would caused last min disruptions to how it could be stowed on board.

when my manager saw the email i sent out with regards to the change in port, he came and questioned me abt it. i told him it was carelessness on my part and so i was scolded for not doing all my checks properly.

sighz. now i'm so upset. it was stressed upon me that cargo going to the wrong ports would cause losses to the company...so its important everything is as accurate as it should be. which is why everyday we keep doing tallying of all our bookings and confirmations and blah blah blah before we call it a day.

i want to go for my sushi buffet!! i hate the stress...but i love the satisfaction when i got it right.

when can i get it 100% right? i'm giving myself another month....but there's still so much to learn...argh.........
