Dear Candidate,
LEDRA ENA SHIPPING CY LTD and E&Q WORLDWIDE STS OPERATIONS are inviting applications from motivated, responsible and highly organized individuals interested in joining our International Shipping & Marine Operations Department at our offices in Limassol, Cyprus.
Our companies provide a comprehensive range of shipping, offshore and marine services internationally, with operations extending from South America and Europe to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Far East.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals with excellent communication skills, a strong sense of responsibility and, above all, an outstanding team spirit to join our established operations team.
Position: International Shipping & Marine Operations Coordinator
Main Responsibilities
The successful candidates will assist our management and senior operations personnel with the daily coordination, administration and follow-up of worldwide shipping and marine services.
Their responsibilities will include:
* Receiving and handling operational enquiries, nominations, appointments and service instructions.
* Coordinating shipping agency services, vessel requirements, owners’ matters and general marine operations.
* Assisting with towage, diving, offshore support, STS operations, bunkering, crew changes, supplies and other marine-related services.
* Maintaining professional and continuous communication with shipowners, charterers, vessel operators, masters, port agents, suppliers, subcontractors and relevant authorities worldwide.
* Preparing clear, accurate and professional email correspondence, operational instructions, confirmations and progress reports.
* Ensuring all incoming emails, operational requests and outstanding matters are acknowledged, coordinated and followed up promptly.
* Providing regular operational updates to clients, management and all relevant parties.
* Monitoring each assigned operation from the initial nomination and planning stages through execution, completion and final reporting.
* Maintaining accurate records, operational documentation and proper handover between team members.
* Identifying potential delays, operational difficulties or outstanding requirements and escalating them promptly to senior management.
Our fundamental operational principle is simple: Every service must be properly coordinated, continuously followed up and professionally completed from A to Z.

We place particular importance on recruiting individuals who understand that successful shipping operations depend on teamwork, cooperation and reliable communication.
Candidates must demonstrate:
* Excellent team spirit, mutual respect and willingness to support colleagues.

* Accountability, honesty, discipline and ownership of assigned responsibilities.
* Ability to remain calm, organized and solution-oriented under operational pressure.
* Willingness to assist colleagues when operational demands require additional support.
* Proper handover of pending matters to ensure continuity of service.
We strongly believe that professional attitude, teamwork, reliability and willingness to learn are equally important as previous shipping experience.

The position therefore includes:
* Full-time, office-based employment in Limassol, Cyprus.
* Participation in a rotating operational duty schedule, approximately one week at a time, shared among the operations team.

* Proper handover of ongoing operations and outstanding matters between duty personnel and colleagues.
The duty arrangement is intended to ensure continuity of operations, balanced teamwork and timely client communication. Working hours, availability requirements and applicable compensation or rest arrangements will be explained during the recruitment process in accordance with Cyprus employment legislation.
