Director of Fleet Logistics at PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Arif\nYunianto, stated that this selection series reflects the professional\nstandards applied in the operation of the national energy fleet. \u201cBeing\na seafarer in Pertamina\u2019s fleet is not just about the technicalities of\nsailing; it involves facing real challenges at sea that require quick\ndecision-making under high pressure and sailing in international waters\nthat demands cross-border coordination. That is why the selection\nprocess we have designed is not merely a formality, but a reflection of\ntrue professional seafarer standards,\u201d Arif said in a statement on\nTuesday, 16 June 2026.<\/p>\n

One component of the selection is the English proficiency test using\nthe TOEIC standard, which covers two main aspects: Listening, the\nability to understand conversations in a work context, and Reading, the\nability to comprehend business texts and technical documents in English.\nThis is followed by a psychometric test to assess three main dimensions:\ncognitive ability, work attitude, and personality.<\/p>\n
The final component is the academic potential test, divided into two\ncategories: General TPA and Technical TPA. The General TPA measures\nparticipants\u2019 basic cognitive abilities, including general reasoning,\nIndonesian and English literacy, and mathematical reasoning.
