About the role
This interview covers the commercial and operational judgement behind marine fuel trading. The panel wants to see how you price enquiries, verify delivery details, negotiate margin and control credit and supplier risk. Strong answers balance speed with disciplined confirmation and show direct communication when a delivery is under pressure.
How to prepare
- Revise the information needed to quote and confirm a marine fuel order.
- Prepare a deal example that shows your pricing logic, negotiation and final outcome.
- Think through how port restrictions, vessel schedules and supplier availability affect an offer.
- Practise explaining how you check credit exposure and counterparty concerns before fixing a deal.
- Review a delivery problem you handled and identify what you communicated at each stage.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on sales volume while ignoring credit exposure or delivery risk.
- Quoting before confirming the fuel specification, quantity, location and timing.
- Giving away margin without testing the customer's real priorities.
- Waiting too long to tell the customer about a likely delivery failure.
