net OBJECTIVE Experienced Logistics Coordinator seeking position within Transportation or rela ted Industry. CAREER SUMMARY I coordinated the movement of bulk freight, specifically steel, with product ori ginating at overseas manufacturers / mills for ultimate discharge at various US ports. By maintaining a close relationship with local shipping and stevedoring companies I ensured a seamless passage of the cargo from point of origin to port of discharge. All documentation was processed in-house to allow for efficient brokerage clearance into the US. Cargo was then moved to port warehousing, coun ted, inspected and moved by locally arranged transport to the end user. Transpo rt was via flat bed carriers or rail car dependent upon final destination. * I recommended the Union Pacific Sail 2 Rail Program for cost and delivery effi ciency. SEBA recovered approx. $1,000.00 per rail car / Delivery was on time. * I led a team to collect information to substantiate rust damage claim to the m arine insurance company. We recovered a payout from insurance of over $300,000. 00. I compliment this logistical coordination background with my most recent experie nce organizing the shop expediting activities for a multi-national construction firm. Placement of qualified personnel and monitoring of progress of manufactur ed equipment and reports to projects were required to ensure on-time shipments a voiding costly construction delays to the client.
