ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF THE OPERATIONAL EXPOSURE TO SHIPPING, CUSTOMS CLEARANCE AND LOGISTICS

ABSTRACT

The internship was undertaken at a shipping agency in Chennai, focusing on key operational areas such as shipping, logistics, customs clearance, and transportation. The objective of the program was to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical business operations,

providing valuable exposure to real-world business practices. The internship served as a core requirement for the Master of Business Administration degree, aiming to develop a deeper understanding of business processes in a dynamic commercial environment. The participant was assigned to the import and export department, where extensive knowledge was gained in ocean freight procedures, including customs clearance for both import and export operations. Emphasis was placed on familiarization with documentation processes, particularly electronic filing systems required for cargo movement. Exposure to various logistics procedures and international shipping documentation enabled the development of technical and operational competencies relevant to the global trade sector. The experience included a combination of hands-on tasks and the study of industry-related materials, contributing to enhanced skills in compliance, documentation, and regulatory procedures. Overall, the internship provided meaningful insights into the functioning of the shipping and logistics industry and played a crucial role in equipping the intern with essential skills applicable to a career in global trade and supply chain management.
