Behind the smooth national energy distribution lies the dedication of\nfemale seafarers who play a key role amid Indonesia\u2019s vast oceans and\ninternational routes.<\/p>\n
In the spirit of Hari Kartini, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga spotlights\nthe contributions of women in the shipping sector.<\/p>\n
The company views the role of seafarers as crucial in ensuring energy\ndistribution reaches various regions, including those with more complex\naccess.<\/p>\n
One such figure is Noor Faridah, a seafarer with over a decade of\nexperience who currently serves as Second Mate. Throughout her career,\nNoor has operated various types of vessels, from crude oil tankers to\ngas carriers, including voyages on international routes such as the\nStrait of Hormuz to Iraqi waters.<\/p>\n
For Noor, the sea is not merely a workplace but a space that builds\nresilience and responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery voyage carries a great responsibility, because we know the\nenergy we transport will reach society. Being far from family is part of\nthis journey, but it also strengthens me to always perform my duties as\nbest as possible,\u201d Noor stated in her comments on Tuesday, 21 April\n2026.<\/p>\n
Another story comes from Roro Anka Nurasti, a young seafarer\ncurrently serving as Third Officer. Her journey began as Fourth Mate and\nhas continued to develop, undertaking roles that demand precision,\ndiscipline, and readiness on every voyage.<\/p>\n
For Anka, being a female seafarer is about the courage to step beyond\nboundaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a female seafarer is not just about the job, but about the\ncourage to choose a path that may not be easy. This is a space to pursue\ndreams while proving that women can also stand and contribute in this\nfield,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also acknowledges that challenges do not always come from the\nwork itself, but from building trust in an environment still dominated\nby men.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, every such process shapes her to become stronger and more\nconfident,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The presence of female seafarers like Noor Faridah and Roro Anka\nNurasti reflects that women have increasingly broad opportunities to\ncontribute, including in the shipping sector. With dedication and\nprofessionalism, they not only carry out their duties but also become\npart of the effort to keep energy available for society.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ensuring-energy-distribution-across-indonesia-pertamina-patra-niaga-deploys-sea-kartinis-1776747056", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
