Being Dutch shipping companies, most of our Principals fly Dutch flag. However, some ship owners also fly other flags within their fleet. Trading areas solely depend on the characters and so far it covers mostly continental Europe with occasional call to the United States.

The average rotation schedule is between 2 to 3 months and in some cases it takes sooner. Depending on your readiness, we suggest that you inform our office whenever you are ready so we can discuss with our Principals if they have a schedule that meets yours. If you showed excellent performances in your previous contracts, our Principals are more than willing to help you meet your plan.

7. If I am hired by the Principal of PTMSS, where should I perform medical check-up ?
|
| |
For Dutch flag vessels, you are required to perform medical check-up through NSI-approved medical practitioners and facilities. At present, we have 3 places in Jakarta for you to choose from. However, for flag other than Dutch, you can perform medical at other reputable clinics.
|
|
8. Does PTMSS provide insurance coverage for the Seafarers ?
|
| |
Our Principals, as the Employer of the Seafarers, provide the necessary insurance coverage as required by the Indonesian Seafarer’s Union (KPI) and this important issue is also incorporated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement which is signed between the Principal and the KPI. Although no one expects to suffer from an accident or sickness on board, nevertheless the insurance coverage provides the Seafarers with an additional peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs.
|
|
9. Does PTMSS also recruit Officers and Engineers? What are the wages ?
|
| |
Our Principals do recruit these ranks and some of them have even worked for quite so many years. Concerning the wages, each of our Principals has their own wage scale. However they will also look at your qualification and experiences to consider your request.
|
|
10. Does each ship have a complete set of Officers and Engineers ?
|
| |
It depends on the size of vessel you sail on. On a smaller coaster vessel, for example, the safe manning requires only one Deck Officer and a single Chief Engineer and we are happy to say that many of our Officers and Engineers perform their jobs on this type of vessel to the satisfaction of the Principals.
|
|
11. If I work for one of your Principals and I am happy with the on-board condition, do I stand a good chance to return ?
|
| |
Please rest assured that as long as you did a good job, our Principals are the one who have the biggest interest to keep you in their employment.
|
|
12. If I want to apply for a job to PTMSS, what are the requirements ?
|
| |
We do require that you have the relevant license and certificates as required by STCW 95 and are conversant in the English language as you will be working on a foreign ship. Additionally, experience from similar type of vessels would be an advantage. If your rank is Ratings, it is preferred that you are below 40 years of age to start with because all our Principals
are looking for long-term employment with their Seafarers. However, if you are Officers or Engineers you are welcome to apply even though you are more than 40 years of age. If you meet the above qualifications, we strongly suggest that you send your CV to: info@multimanning.net

|
13. If I am loyal to the Company, can I recommend my relative or friend ?
|
| |
Definitely you can. As a matter of fact, we give this matter a priority as long as your relative or friend meets the requirements of our Principals.
|
|
14. How can I be sure that PTMSS is a good crewing agent ?
|
| |
No one is perfect and neither are we so we believe the best way to learn about us is through the opinion of some Seafarers who have worked through our office.
