“Today, we have something new: our speakers come from a maritime background. I believe this is a positive development, as it can broaden the knowledge of the seminar participants,” he stated.
He also emphasized the importance of collaboration between the university and the industry so that students do not focus solely on theory in the classroom but actively participate in seminars like this.

The seminar featured a presentation by the President Commissioner of PT Karya Technik Multifinance, Sim Idrus Munandar. In his presentation, he provided an in-depth discussion on the dynamics of the maritime industry from both national and international perspectives, as well as how financing and financial systems play a role in supporting the industry.
“You should use the approximately four years at Untar to prepare your knowledge and experience. Learn many languages, decide on your future career, take on part-time jobs, and build your network. I believe these will be beneficial for you in the future,” he advised the mostly student audience.
