What Changed

KBLI 2020→2025 mapping: matched with aggregation.

What You Need

Nationally, this business field is fully open to 100% foreign ownership. In Bali, the activity is not blocked by the local moratorium, but it falls into a medium-high/high risk category. This means that while registration is possible, your specific business address will be reviewed, and you may face additional compliance requirements compared to lower-risk activities.

Who This Is For

Foreign entrepreneurs looking to establish a crew manning or maritime recruitment agency that places seafarers on merchant or fishing vessels around the world.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a ship crew placement agency business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 78104 (Aktivitas Penempatan Awak Kapal) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 78104?
KBLI 78104 has a Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Izin. Processing time: 7.
What is KBLI 78104?
KBLI 78104 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Aktivitas Penempatan Awak Kapal" (Ship Crew Placement Agency). It falls under Section N of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 78104 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 78104 was mapped from previous codes 78104, 78424 (KBLI 2020). Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
