Maris Exim International

Our office, Maris Exim International, is located at No. 5/271 on North Car Street. It’s a well-known street, so people can usually find us without too much trouble. The street is often busy with people walking by, especially during festival times when the crowds get really thick. We do a lot of international trade work from this small space. It’s mostly just making sure the containers are booked and the goods are where they should be at the right time. We have a couple of old desks and some filing cabinets that are nearly full of old records. It gets pretty noisy outside with the traffic and the shops nearby, but we don't mind it. We’ve been on North Car Street for a long time now. The building is old but it stays sturdy. We don't have air conditioning, just some fans that move the warm air around during the summer months. We spend our mornings checking emails and our afternoons on the phone with various agents. It’s a lot of routine work. Sometimes we have to go down to the port ourselves to check on a container that’s been held up. We aren't a big corporation, just a small team trying to keep the business going. We know the other shop owners on the block and sometimes share a meal or a tea when things are quiet. It’s a decent way to earn a living.
