Hi, I’m Arjun Nair, Also Known as Jun to friends or CapnJun to many
I've been a Trouble shooter, Expediter, Port Captain, Marine consultant, and Mentor, among other roles
Have Supervised the building and the dry docking of ships including steel renewals. Have conducted Inspections of vessels and conducted vessel surveys including to OCIMF standards.
As Consultant have set up Freight forwarding networks and offices including the Southern region of All Cargo Movers Pvt Ltd., between 1997 - 1999.
As Entrepreneur and owner of Indo Overseas Consultants - a Chennai based Custom House Agency that I bought over in 1999, we added value in 10 years by transforming it into a fully integrated Freight Management company with a Licensed IATA and Multimodal Transport permits, and a well oiled and dedicated workforce and with a Southern India footprint. The company had an excellent reputation for high quality accountable service. The intrinsic value of the company was unlocked by divestment in 2009.
Seasky Shipping Pvt. Ltd, which was established in 1999 was made fully operational in 2001 - as a Chennai based Freight Forwarding company. The company works on the same principles of ethics and accountable service for which IOCPL was reputed. The company is profit making with long serving employees. In August 2014, the company was renamed as Seasky Shipping and Consulting Pvt. Ltd., to reflect additional verticals and complement the freight management business.
Long term interest in Law finally saw him pursue and complete a PG Diploma in Maritime Law via the Lloyds Maritime Agency and the London Metropolitan University in February 2012. Maritime Legal advice is thus another part of the consulting vertical.
His Specialties include Building teams and Loyalties, Order Management, Quality processes and a Turn around Professional. Specialty in People management, mentoring the young and Coaching the ambitious.
Seasky Shipping Pvt Ltd was a JV between the Directors of Seasky Cargo and Travels Pvt Ltd, Delhi and Indo Overseas Consultants Pvt Ltd., Chennai. where he was the Owner / MD
The company established in 1999 prides itself on being professionally run and is involved in the business of end to end Freight solutions for both Import and export.
Long serving staff, with fierce pride in the workplace and who treat the company as their own while the company treats them as partners is the reason for our success and reputation.
In August 2014, the company restructured its equity and became a fully owned entity by Capt. Arjun Nair and Mrs. Poonam Nair. The company also changed its name to Seasky Shipping and Consulting Pvt. Ltd., to reflect its Maritime Consulting arm.
