PT Equinox Bahari Utama proudly participated in the official signing ceremony of the International Maritime Employers' Council (IMEC) initiative, marking another important step in strengthening international collaboration for the development of Indonesian seafarers.
The ceremony brought together representatives from IMEC, global shipowners, maritime recruitment agencies, training providers, maritime education institutions, and government stakeholders, reflecting a shared commitment to enhancing the quality, competency, and global competitiveness of Indonesian maritime professionals.
As one of Indonesia's leading crewing companies, Equinox Bahari Utama believes that sustainable growth in the maritime industry can only be achieved through continuous investment in people. Beyond recruitment and crew management, the company remains committed to supporting competency development, international standards, leadership, and lifelong learning for Indonesian seafarers.
One of the key outcomes of this collaboration is the implementation of the English Language Train-the-Trainer Programme, an initiative designed to strengthen maritime English instruction across Indonesia. By improving the capability of instructors, the programme aims to create a long-term and sustainable impact on the English proficiency of Indonesian officers, preparing them to compete and succeed in the global shipping industry.
For Equinox Bahari Utama, this initiative aligns closely with the company's long-term vision of developing world-class Indonesian maritime professionals capable of serving on modern international fleets across various sectors, including conventional shipping, offshore, LNG, LPG, FSRU, FLNG, and other specialized vessels.
The signing ceremony represents more than a formal agreement—it marks the beginning of practical collaboration. In the coming months, stakeholders will work together to implement training programmes, share best practices, strengthen industry standards, and create measurable outcomes that support the continued advancement of Indonesia's maritime workforce.
