The INDOS (Indian National Database of Seafarers) is a computerized system that helps authorities and employers easily access seafarer information.
Its main goal is to provide a quick way for organizations like flag state, port state, immigration, and employers to check seafarer details.
The system stores important information such as the seafarer’s name, photo, signature, address, and phone number.
Each seafarer is given a unique INDoS number, made up of eight letters and numbers.
The first two numbers show the year the INDOS number was issued, and the next two letters indicate the seafarer’s category, like N for Nautical Officer or E for Engineer Officer.
The last four digits are a unique number specific to the seafarer.
This INDoS number appears on all of the seafarer’s documents and certificates and stays the same even if their category changes.
