PROFILE

 

After a long waiting for sixteen (16) years, Hanseatic has finally decided to return to Indonesia and re-establish its business presence.  Back in January 1990, Hanseatic had opened its representative office in Jakarta which was led by Captain Frank Schwanke and assisted by Mr. Ayub Junus - an Indonesian national whom prior to the assignment had spent three month in HSC' head office in Limassol as management trainee (after finishing his MSc degree in Plymouth UK). Due to some reasons, the representative office did not continue and was closed toward the end of 1990. Capt. Schwanke returned to Germany to pursue other career and Ayub Junus continue his career working for Sealand Services for its container logistics division and later setup his own crewing agency business (PT. Belvamas Maritim Indontama) in 1996.
 
In April 2006, HSC decided to explore the possibilities of recruiting Indonesian seamen/ officers and ratings and resumed contact with Ayub Junus to assist with the study to be undertaken by HSC. During the study period, HSC was awarded a vessel with already existing Indonesian officers and ratings onboard so therefore as of 18 August 2006, HSC has started employing Indonesian seafarers and appointed Mr. Junus and his company as the local Indonesian recruiting agent. This appointment remarks the continuing of business relationship with an old associate whom already familiar with HSC' standard business practice.
 
In early November 2006, Mr. Andreas Droussiotis and Capt. Rene Dzicki came to Indonesia and visited the existing maritime colleges in Jakarta, Tangerang and Semarang cities and as well to meet with the government official in charge for seafarers maritime training.  During this important visit, it was also concluded for HSC to firmly establish its own business presence in Indonesia and to form a new joint venture with Mr. Ayub Junus under the name of PT. Hanseatic Recruiting Agency Indonesia (HRA) which the process will be completed within this month.
 
The establishment of its own company in Indonesia shows the strong commitment of HSC to seriously explore new crewing potential offered by Indonesia being as the 4th largest population (with 250 million people) in the world after China, India and USA ; and also as the world's largest archipelagic country with a total of 17.508 islands.
