Based on their size, RZ03 and RZ05 are not ordinary fishing vessels.
A fisherman describes the conditions of the crew when they found out they would be working in RZ 03 and 05.
Rudini's anger increased
The violations that occur on RZ 03 and RZ 05 does not stop there
After two months of fishing in the Arafura sea, the crew members of RZ. 03 and 05 are dropped off at Dobo Port.
The resignation letter is not just about dignity. The recruiters use the presence of the crew members signatures as an excuse to not fulfill their end of the bargain
One of the fishermen estimates that RZ 05 caught around 150 to 200 tons of fish in the two months that they worked there. Each crew member should have received Rp 49 million in compensation
But the ship's owner claims that the vessel's catch only amounted to 20 tons. The crew members are only paid Rp 3.5 million each.
Stranded in Dobo, some of the crew members decide to work on squid boats.
Some others decide to head home with what little money they have, while some even ask their families to send them money so that they can make the journey.
Meanwhile, RZ 03 and RZ 05 once again go out to the open sea, ready to ensnare other victims.
