Interestingly, according to the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, it will employ around 600 thousand people," said the Presidential Secretariat, Teddy, while giving information at London Stansted Airport, England, Wednesday, January 21.
Teddy explained that according to the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, who also accompanied President Prabowo in the bilateral meeting, the UK agreed to build 1,582 fishing boats for fishermen.
From this commitment, at least 30 thousand people will be absorbed to become crew members, 400 thousand people to produce or assemble ships in the country, and 170 thousand people from multiplier effects.
"Because later (the ship) will be produced, assembled in Indonesia. So 30 thousand is for the crew, then 400 thousand for those who produce it, then later there will be 170 thousand from the multiplier effect," said Teddy.
