Pertamina Marine Solutions Opens Seafarer Jobs in China

Indonesian seafarers may soon find new opportunities on international tankers, thanks to a new partnership between PT Pertamina Marine Solutions (PMSol) and China's Xingtong Group. The collaboration is designed to open doors for Indonesian sailors to be placed on the Chinese company's tanker fleet.

This initiative by PMSol, a subsidiary of state-owned energy company Pertamina, aims to leverage its network and expertise to enhance employment prospects for Indonesian maritime professionals. By connecting with a major international shipping firm like Xingtong Group, PMSol seeks to facilitate the placement of qualified Indonesian seafarers in the competitive global market.

The agreement is expected to benefit both parties by ensuring a steady supply of skilled labor for Xingtong Group's vessels and providing valuable international experience and income for Indonesian sailors. This move aligns with broader efforts to boost the Indonesian maritime sector and create more jobs for its citizens abroad.
