PT RNT Utama Indonesia will continue to be committed to being a bridge between foreign ship partners and Indonesian maritime human resources, producing competent, healthy crew members who are ready to sail the world’s oceans.

The need for international maritime labor continues to grow every year. The global fishing industry, particularly foreign-flagged fleets, increasingly requires trained, resilient crew members (ABK) who are ready to work on the high seas. August 2025 marks a significant milestone as PT RNT Utama Indonesia once again dispatches hundreds of crew members to international vessels.

This article explores the August departures, why this opportunity is special, and how PT RNT Utama Indonesia serves as a bridge between Indonesian youth and the global fishing fleet.

Why is August Important?

According to data from foreign shipping partners, demand for crew members typically increases in the third quarter of each year. This is due to:

• The fishing season in various international maritime areas.
• Fleet preparation for the peak demand for seafood at the end of the year.
• Rotation of old crew with new crew to maintain productivity.

With these conditions, August is a busy month for departures. For young Indonesians, this is the perfect time to start an international maritime career.

Who Can Join?

One of the advantages of PT RNT Utama Indonesia is that it offers opportunities to two main groups:

Experienced Crew
Those who have worked on local or international vessels. Positions can be higher-level, such as bosun, foreman, or ship technician.
Beginner Crew (Non-Experienced)
Young people without any sea experience can still participate. PT RNT Utama Indonesia offers basic training programs, ranging from Basic Safety Training (BST) to adapting to work on foreign vessels.

This means that August is not only a rotation period for the old crew, but also a great opportunity for new faces to start their careers.

Processes Before Departure

To ensure a smooth departure process, PT RNT Utama Indonesia implements a strict and professional process:

1. Recruitment & Selection
   Prospective crew members are screened based on physical, mental, and administrative requirements.
2. Basic Training
   Covers occupational safety, fishing gear usage, and basic foreign language skills.
3. Legal Filing
   Mandatory documents such as passports, seafarer’s books, BST certificates, work visas, and insurance are prepared by the RNT team.
4. Pre-Departure Briefing
   Final briefing before departure, including work ethics on multinational vessels.
5. Departure & Escort
   PT RNT Utama Indonesia team ensures a smooth departure and continues to monitor the crew members after they arrive in their destination country.
