We are proud to announce the addition of PT Emaris Maritim Nusantara to the Emaris Group, a fully integrated crew management company based in Batam, Indonesia. This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in our mission to deliver transparent, reliable, and world-class crewing solutions to shipowners and maritime operators worldwide.
Full-Scale Crew Management Under One Roof
At PT Emaris Maritim Nusantara, we provide end-to-end crew management services encompassing every critical phase of the seafarer employment cycle:
Sourcing: Identifying and attracting qualified maritime professionals
Recruitment: Rigorous screening and evaluation of candidates
Selection: Matching the right seafarer to the right vessel and company
Assignment: Seamless deployment to respective vessels with full documentation support
Our integrated approach ensures that no detail is overlooked, giving shipowners complete confidence in the calibre of crew placed aboard their fleets.
Addressing Industry Pain Points
The maritime crewing industry has long been plagued by a lack of transparency. Many shipowners find themselves caught in relationships with agents characterised by:
Undisclosed costing structures: Hidden fees and unclear pricing erode trust and inflate budgets
Misaligned candidate placement: Without proper vetting, shipowners risk acquiring the wrong candidates, leading to operational inefficiencies, safety concerns, and costly turnovers
PT Emaris Maritim Nusantara was established to eliminate these risks. We believe shipowners deserve full visibility into every stage of the crewing process from cost breakdowns to candidate qualifications.
Leadership Built on Experience
What sets us apart is the depth of expertise within our team. We comprise seasoned seafarers who have sailed on a diverse fleet of vessels and served in prestigious shipping companies in roles ranging from superintendents to senior management positions.
This firsthand maritime experience means we understand the demands of life at sea. We know what makes a candidate not just qualified on paper, but truly capable of performing under the pressures of ocean-going and port-limit operations.
A Strategic Merger with Emaris Shipping Pte Ltd
With our merger under Emaris Shipping Pte Ltd, we are raising the bar across every dimension of our operations:
Enhanced Recruitment & Placement: Leveraging broader networks and refined processes
Structured Familiarisation Programmes: Ensuring every seafarer is operationally ready before deployment
Continuous Training & Development: Investing in skills enhancement to meet evolving industry standards
Our combined resources and shared vision enable us to deliver a level of service that is both comprehensive and consistently excellent.
Regulatory Compliance: The SIUKAK Licence
We are currently in the process of applying for our SIUKAK licence, the Ship Crew Recruitment Agency Business License.
SIUKAK is an official state document issued by the Directorate General of Sea Transportation of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation. It is mandatory for all companies engaged in the recruitment and placement of seafarers. Key features include:
Permanent validity: Unlike the previous SIUPPAK licence, SIUKAK does not require renewal
Principal legal foundation: It serves as the definitive legal basis for ship crew agency operations in Indonesia
Seafarer protection: It ensures that recruitment practices safeguard the rights and welfare of maritime professionals
Regulatory assurance: It guarantees that our operations meet the highest standards of compliance and accountability
Securing SIUKAK is a cornerstone of our commitment to operating with full transparency and legal integrity.
Dedicated Fleet for Safe and Cost-Effective Crew Transportation
At PT Emaris Maritim Nusantara, we understand that crew safety extends beyond the vessel, it begins the moment a seafarer departs for assignment. To this end, we maintain our own dedicated fleet of vehicles to handle all crew transportation requirements.
Shipowners no longer need to worry about:
Crew safety during travel: Our vehicles are properly maintained and operated by trained drivers, ensuring seafarers reach their destinations securely and comfortably
Overpriced transportation charges: By managing our own fleet, we eliminate third-party mark-ups and hidden fees, offering transparent and competitive transport costs as part of our integrated service
Whether it is airport transfers, port transfers, or inter-city travel for training and familiarisation, our fleet ensures that every journey is handled with the same professionalism and care we apply to every other aspect of crew management.
Digitalised Operations for a Stable Talent Pool
To ensure consistency and reliability, all our processes are managed through an integrated digitalised platform.
This technology-driven approach allows us to:
Maintain a stable and qualified pool of seafarers at all times
Track candidate progress from initial sourcing through to assignment
Ensure documentation, certifications, and compliance records are always up to date
Provide shipowners with real-time visibility into their crewing pipeline
Looking Ahead
The launch of PT Emaris Maritim Nusantara represents more than expansion, it represents a renewed commitment to integrity, quality, and partnership in maritime crew management.
We invite shipowners and fleet operators to experience a crewing relationship built on transparency, expertise, and results.
Welcome to the future of crew management.
