The offshore industry is a very challenging world, not only because of its environmental conditions but also due to its high risk of health and safety. With a need for a high quality standard of work to be carried out in such conditions, this resulted in the formation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), a type of commercial agreement negotiated between clients and trade unions. This is endorsed by the Indonesian Marine Authority (DePerLa – Departemen Perhubungan Laut).
This agreement allows for professionals to address the terms and conditions of their employment. The factors that are considered under this agreement are wages, hiring practices, layoffs, promotions, job functions, working conditions, worker discipline and termination and benefit programs. The documents are legally binding to all parties who sign it, so both the crew and ship owners are in an equal relationship and protected by the law during their term of employment.
AAPL Indonesia Crew in Jakarta specialises in full crewing management, sourcing local content for projects around the world. AAPL works alongside their professionals from mobilisation through to work permits for each crew member.
“Throughout the years AAPL Indonesia Crew has proved that we are focused on the rights and welfare of our professionals. We understand that the offshore industry is a challenging one, and that both crews and clients should always know that they are safe and have the confidence in us in helping them to produce a flawless result,” says Crewing Manager Franky Rorong.
In accordance with Indonesia national regulations and the MLC 2006, AAPL Indonesia Crew integrates this law into every professional’s contract and will continue to enforce this for future personnel.
