2. Operational Management: Planning shipping routes, fuel efficiency, cargo management, and ensuring vessels comply with international and local shipping regulations.
3. Administrative Management: Legal documentation, vessel registration, insurance, certification, and compliance with regulations from regulatory bodies such as the IMO (International Maritime Organization).
