About Raghavendra M.

With 21+ years of progressive leadership in global sea chartering, project logistics, and industrial freight solutions, I bring deep operational, contractual, and commercial expertise across the maritime and shipping ecosystem. My experience spans complex cargo handling—including breakbulk, RoRo, military, and IMO-classified shipments—delivered across diverse geographies, trade lanes, and client sectors. Currently serving as Sea Chartering Lead at Bahri Logistics SA, I manage the full chartering lifecycle, from RFQ to final fixture, across major international movements. My strength lies in negotiating and finalising Charter Parties (NYPE, GENCON, CONLINE), ensuring commercial viability, cost control, and full compliance while delivering high-value logistics under tight schedules and regulatory constraints. I lead with a solutions-first mindset, combining contractual precision with operational agility: Charter Party Excellence – Skilled in drafting, auditing, and aligning CPs with rider clauses for legal integrity and risk mitigation Specialised Cargo Expertise – Hands-on experience in handling military, RoRo, DG, and ODC shipments with care and compliance Multimodal Leadership – Directed integrated freight across ocean, road, rail, and barge—ensuring optimised costs and on-time delivery Financial Oversight – Controlled project budgets, vendor pricing, invoice tracking, claim reconciliation, and per-unit cost saving Strategic Partnerships – Built long-term alliances with brokers, owners, forwarders, and EPCs across MENA, India, and APAC Team & Process Management – Led multicultural teams, implemented SOP-compliant workflows, and improved commercial closing speed I believe in maritime logistics as a critical driver of global supply chain resilience. I stay focused on delivery, transparency, and client impact—ensuring that every charter, every voyage, and every stakeholder interaction reflects value and professionalism.
