departure

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.

In its operations, PT RNT UTAMA INDONESIA always maintains good relations and establishes active communication with shipowners, partner agencies abroad, and international labor authorities.

Each crew departure is adjusted to the type of vessel and appropriate fishing gear, such as tuna longline vessels, squid jigger vessels, and trawl vessels. All crew members are equipped with technical understanding of work, ethics on board, and basic learning of the culture of the destination country.

Focus on the Welfare and Protection of the crew

In addition to the technical aspects, PT RNT UTAMA INDONESIA also pays great attention to the protection and welfare of the crew. All crew members who are sent are ensured to have complete documents, transparent official work contracts, as well as social security and work insurance. In addition, the company also forms an active monitoring and complaint system, so that crew members can report if they encounter obstacles while working on the ship.

In the period of June, the company also continued to strengthen cooperation with training institutions such as SUPM Tegal and other job training centers. This is done to ensure that the workforce sent not only meets the quota, but also has the competence and character to compete globally.

Real Contribution to the Region and Crew Families

In addition, the company also supports the reduction of unemployment rates and creates a positive social impact, especially for the younger generation who want to seek work opportunities abroad legally and with dignity.

Many of the crew members who were successfully dispatched in June came from various regions in Indonesia such as Central Java, East Java, NTB, and South Sulawesi. By opening up this opportunity fairly and openly, PT RNT UTAMA INDONESIA has succeeded in becoming a bridge between the potential of local workers and the needs of the global fisheries industry.
