What to Expect

The Analyst, Commodity Trade Flows (Ship Tracking) provides the commodity trading group in Singapore with a timely, accurate, and forward-looking view of regional and global vessel movements relevant to crude and product trade flows. The role goes beyond basic AIS monitoring and combines multiple sources of market intelligence, including port agents, internal Operations insights, and external market data, to develop a fuller picture of cargo movements, vessel status, and emerging disruptions.

This position supports traders with daily vessel tracking, validates observations against commercial context, and identifies changes in vessel behavior that could affect market understanding or trading decisions. The role also helps advance the automation and digitalization of ship-tracking processes through coding, structured data handling, and process improvement. Strong coding skills and comfort working with large data sets are essential, while experience with Databricks would be beneficial but is not required.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor and interpret vessel movements relevant to regional and global commodity flows by combining AIS and satellite information with port agent updates, Operations intelligence, trader input, and other available market sources.
• Build and maintain an integrated view of ship movements, cargo grades, volumes, origin, destination, and expected timing, while checking for discrepancies across data sets and resolving gaps through cross-functional follow-up.
• Work closely with traders to validate ship-tracking observations, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure that vessel and cargo information is accurate, current, and commercially useful.
• Monitor for unusual vessel behavior or changes in movement patterns, including route deviations, unexpected delays, transshipment signals, destination changes, suspicious idle time, or other exceptions, and proactively alert traders when action or awareness is needed.
• Capture and communicate key market-relevant developments such as fixture changes, failed fixtures, diversions, missed vessels, congestion, weather disruptions, port delays, or operational constraints that may affect flows or market interpretation.
• Develop, improve, and automate ship-tracking workflows by using coding and large-data handling skills to streamline data ingestion, reconciliation, exception monitoring, and reporting.
• Manipulate and analyze large, often messy data sets from multiple shipping and operational sources to support faster insight generation, better data quality, and scalable monitoring processes.
• Use modern data tools to support automation and process efficiency; experience with Databricks is advantageous, though not required.
• Partner across Trading, Operations, and analytical teams to improve tracking coverage, strengthen data integrity, and support broader supply, demand, and market flow analysis.
• Contribute to ongoing digitalization efforts in Singapore by helping design more efficient processes, tools, and reporting approaches for commodity trade flow tracking.

What You’ll Bring - Required

• Bachelor’s degree or higher
• 1 or more year(s) of commercial, marine, and/or energy industry experience
• Intermediate or greater proficiency in Microsoft Excel
• Python coding skills (intermediate level)

What Makes You Stand Out

• Prior marine commercial experience and/or energy industry experience
• Strong desire for personal learning and sharing skills with others.
• Developed stakeholder management skills, with experience supporting cross-functional discussions.
