Job Description


The Junior Routing Manager will support safe and efficient voyage routing from a Voyage Optimisation Centre in Mumbai. The role involves monitoring vessel voyages, assessing weather and vessel performance, and working closely with experienced routing professionals to provide practical routing support to Masters at sea.

The role focuses on voyage routing, passage planning, marine weather analysis, vessel performance monitoring, fuel efficiency, and emissions reduction. The Junior Routing Manager will work on a rotating 24/7 shift pattern to provide continuous support to vessels and contribute to improvements in voyage optimisation processes and tools.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and adjust ocean passages using live meteorological and ocean data while balancing safety, voyage time, and fuel efficiency.
  • Monitor vessel speed, fuel consumption, weather exposure, and voyage performance against planned expectations.
  • Identify differences between expected and actual voyage performance and investigate their causes.
  • Recommend suitable routing or operational actions based on weather, vessel performance, and voyage conditions.
  • Work closely with Masters at sea and provide clear, practical routing advice while respecting the Master's authority and professional judgement.
  • Maintain accurate voyage records, routing updates, performance reports, and handover notes.
  • Support fleet-wide initiatives related to routing, voyage optimisation, fuel efficiency, and emissions reduction.
  • Work on a rotating 24/7 shift pattern, including nights and weekends, to provide continuous vessel support.
  • Use optimisation, analysis, and AI-enabled tools responsibly.
  • Contribute ideas for improving routing processes, systems, and voyage optimisation capabilities.

Requirements

  • Valid Certificate of Competency as Officer of the Watch (Deck) is required.
  • Watchkeeping experience as a Second Officer or Third Officer is required.
  • Sound working knowledge of navigation, passage planning, and marine meteorology.
  • Ability to interpret weather forecasts, vessel data, and voyage performance information.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Confidence in communicating with Masters and shore-based colleagues.
  • Calm, collaborative, and team-focused approach.
  • Willingness to learn from feedback and changing voyage conditions.
  • Interest in voyage optimisation tools, including AI-enabled technologies.
  • Dry bulk vessel experience preferred, although experience in other vessel types may be considered.
  • Previous shore-based experience in routing or a similar role will be an advantage.

About the Role

This opportunity is suited to deck officers with watchkeeping experience who want to transition into a shore-based voyage routing and optimisation role. The position combines navigation expertise, marine meteorology, vessel performance analysis, and technology to support safer and more fuel-efficient voyages.
