• Checking proforma D/A submitted by the head agent for compliance with applicable tariffs
• Receipt of owners’ funds and payment to head agents
• Reporting the vessel/cargo status, as required
• Checking cargo documents/SOF/ NOR/ time sheets for correctness, notifying owner if not, issuing letters of protest, laytime calculation
• Signing Bills of Lading
