FAQS

RPSL Companies in Mumbai – Common Questions Answered

Find answers to frequently asked questions about RPSL (Recruiting and Placement Services License) companies in Mumbai. Understand their role, licensing, and verification process.

  • Why is RPSL important for seafarers?

    The RPSL ensures that seafarers are recruited legally and ethically, receive proper employment contracts, and are protected under maritime labour convention-MLC 2006 laws. Working with an RPSL-approved agency helps seafarers avoid unauthorized or fraudulent recruiters. 

  • How do I verify if an RPSL company in Mumbai is genuine?

    You can confirm whether an RPSL company is genuine by checking the official list on the DG Shipping website or through the updated RPSL directory on IndoSearch’s RPSL companies page. 

  • What services do RPSL companies in Mumbai provide?

    RPSL companies screen, select, and place Indian seafarers on board vessels; handle documentation, contracts, and deployment; and ensure compliance with maritime standards and safety regulations before joining sea service. 

  • Can a seafarer file a complaint against an RPSL company?

    Yes. If a seafarer experiences non-compliance, fraud, or contract issues, they can file a complaint with the Seamen’s Employment Office or directly with DG Shipping through the official e-governance portal. Alternatively, you may submit a review for the respective agency on Indosearch.

  • Is it safe to pay agencies for jobs with RPSL approval?

    Legitimate RPSL companies do not charge unofficial placement fees. Seafarers should never pay money upfront for job placement — anything beyond official service or documentation fees (if applicable) may indicate an unauthorized recruiter.
