Bulk terminal managers perform a key role in bulk commodity supply chain coordination, whether export, import or both. Communication with employees, shippers, shipping agencies, transportation agencies, governmental agencies, stevedores, forwarders and others concerned with the movement of cargo through the facility is crucial and requires management of a large number of critical business processes and the exchange of vast amounts of information.
