Fake maritime job rackets: DGMA, RPSL holders launch campaign

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 23 (IANS) The Directorate General of Marine Administration (DGMA) has launched a major campaign to raise awareness among seafarers regarding fake job rackets in the maritime sector. In 2025-26 itself, scammers have got away with crores of rupees from unsuspecting mariners by offering them high-paying jobs on merchant vessels. Worst still, important documents belonging to the victims have been compromised. A genuine-looking job offer isnt enough. Verify before you trust. Before accepting a recruitment offer, check whether the recruiter is authorised, verify the job details and stay cautious of unusual payment demands. Never let urgency override verification. Take a moment to check. Make an informed decision. Protect your career at sea, the DGMA has said as part of its campaign. Several genuine Recruitment and Placement Service Licence (RPSL) holders and shipping companies have also joined the drive to create awareness about such scams. Hundreds of seafarers across India lose money, personal documents, and career momentum to fake maritime job offers every year. These scams have grown more sophisticated since 2020, and in 20252026 alone, police have filed cases involving crores of rupees stolen from job-seeking mariners, one such company has said in its notice. The victims range from fresh deck cadets searching for their first ship to experienced officers looking for a better contract, an official said. It has been clearly mentioned that genuine shipping companies and licensed RPSL holders will never ask applicants to pay for a job, visa, joining ticket, or processing fee. Hence, any demand for money before a mariner boards a vessel is a major red flag. Genuine RPSL holders never charge seafarers for employment or placement. All visa and medical costs are borne by the shipowner. Fake maritime job offers typically involve unrealistic salaries, no experience required promises, or fast promotions, and almost always demand advance payments or full document scans upfront, an RPSL holder said. Those applying for jobs should verify a recruiters RPSL status on the official DG Shipping portal before sharing documents or travelling to join a vessel. As of October 2026, there are 538 valid RPSL holders, 396 agencies with invalid or expired licenses, and 66 agencies that are temporarily suspended from recruiting, it has been mentioned. The scammers offer fraudulent employment proposals for positions on merchant vessels, cruise ships, or offshore platforms. The aim is to extract money, personal documents, or both from seafarers. Unlike generic job scams targeting office workers, these schemes specifically exploit the maritime industrys structures: RPSL numbers, CDC requirements, COC certificates, and the urgency of crew changes. Maritime recruitment scams often target job-seeking seafarers who are under financial or career pressure to find their next ship, the licence holder said. Things have got worse with people relying heavily on digital modes of communication for all requirements. WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, Facebook pages, and even LinkedIn profiles now serve as primary channels for distributing fake jobs. Fraudsters set up offices or use co-working spaces in crewing hotspots like Navi Mumbai and Chennai, register a company name with India Private Limited or Marine Services Pvt Ltd in it, and begin advertising positions that look remarkably similar to those offered by legitimate ship management private limited firms. The fraudsters have also become increasingly fluent in DG Shipping terminology. They casually reference RPSL numbers, MLC compliance, CDC endorsements, and flag-state requirements to sound legitimate.

Goa Aces JA Racings Luviwe Sambudla dominates F4 Indian Championship round 3 to take points lead

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 23 (IANS) The Madras International Circuit in Chennai witnessed thrilling wheel-to-wheel battles, dramatic recoveries and a historic breakthrough as round 3 of the F4 Indian Championship, part of the Indian Racing Festival 2026, delivered three action-packed races on October 22 and 23. Goa Aces JA Racings Luviwe Sambudla emerged as the weekends standout performer, claiming two victories and a third-place finish to take the championship lead, while 15-year-old Aaron Mehta of Kolkata Royal Tigers made history by becoming the youngest race winner in the championships history. Sambudla turned a five-point deficit into a 21-point championship advantage, moving to 138 points ahead of Kichchas Kings Bengalurus Aris Kyriakou on 117. Across the 3.717-kilometre circuit, Sambudla showcased exceptional pace and racecraft, winning the opening two races from sixth on the grid before completing his weekend on the podium. Speed Demons Delhis Ntiyiso Mabunda was equally impressive, finishing second in all three races, while Mehta delivered a composed performance under pressure to secure his maiden victory in the final race. The 16-driver field, representing eight franchise teams, arrived in Chennai with Kyriakou leading the standings after a consistent run of podium finishes. However, challenging wet-weather conditions and fiercely contested battles quickly changed the complexion of the title fight. The opening race saw Kyriakou take the early lead, with Mehta initially keeping pace and Sambudla making up two places on the opening lap. As the wet conditions tested the field, Sambudla worked his way past Mehta for second before capitalising on a loss of rear grip from Kyriakou on lap nine to seize the lead. Ntiyiso Mabunda, who started tenth for Speed Demons Delhi, produced an impressive recovery drive, overtaking Mehta and Kyriakou to move into second, while Goa Aces JA Racings Aryan Narola also joined the fight at the front. With rain returning to the circuit, Sambudla pulled clear to win by 9.606 seconds, setting the fastest lap in 1:48.647. Ntiyiso Mabunda completed a remarkable climb from tenth to second, with Narola finishing third. Mehta crossed the line fourth, while Kyriakou had to settle for fifth. Speed Demons Delhis Krishay Gutte finished sixth as the highest-placed Indian driver. The result handed Sambudla a 10-point championship lead and shifted the momentum decisively in his favour. Sambudla carried that form into the second race, once again starting sixth under the reverse-grid format. Working his way through the field, the Goa Aces JA Racing driver secured his second consecutive victory in 33:22.590 after 13 laps, but the contest proved considerably closer. Ntiyiso Mabunda maintained the pressure throughout, finishing just 1.211 seconds behind the winner, while Sambudla recorded the fastest lap in 1:50.071. Ntiyiso Mabundas second consecutive runner-up finish underlined his consistency, while Kyriakou recovered to third for Kichchas Kings Bengaluru after his difficult opening race. Narola maintained fourth for Goa Aces JA Racing, followed by Gutte of Speed Demons Delhi, who again led the Indian contingent, and Mehta in sixth for Kolkata Royal Tigers. With the top six separated by just 5.414 seconds, the race highlighted the increasingly competitive nature of the field. Sambudlas second victory extended his championship advantage over Kyriakou to 14 points heading into the final race. The weekends defining moment came in the third race, as Mehta converted pole position into a breakthrough victory. The Kolkata Royal Tigers teenager held his nerve through a race punctuated by incidents, a red flag and a safety car intervention before resisting a late charge from Ntiyiso Mabunda to win by just 0.546 seconds. Mehta initially retained the lead as Narola of Goa Aces JA Racing challenged strongly through the opening corners. However, the slippery conditions soon caught several drivers out, with Kyriakou of Kichchas Kings Bengaluru running wide into the grass and becoming stranded in a deep puddle, while Swarnav Das of Kolkata Royal Tigers also slid off the circuit. The incidents prompted a red flag to allow the stranded cars to be recovered, with the field subsequently resuming behind the safety car. Kyriakou and Das were forced to restart from the back of the field, while Narola resumed in 13th. Following the restart, Mehta gradually established a lead of approximately 1.5 seconds over Sambudla. However, the retirement of Hyderabad Blackbirds Bhuvan Bonu, who had been running fourth, brought out the safety car and erased the advantage. As the race approached its conclusion, Ntiyiso Mabunda closed rapidly on Mehta, setting up a tense final-lap battle. The Speed Demons Delhi driver looked for a way through, but Mehta defended his position to secure his first championship victory and make history at just 15 years of age. Ntiyiso Mabunda finished second for the third consecutive time in Chennai, while Sambudla secured third to cap his double-win campaign. Das recovered from the back of the field to finish fourth for Kolkata Royal Tigers, ahead of Godspeed Kochis Mahlori Mabunda in fifth. Kyriakou mounted a recovery drive from 16th to sixth, while Kichchas Kings Bengalurus Enzo Rujugiro finished seventh. Narola climbed to eighth and recorded the fastest lap of the race in 1:39.676. The weekend also tested the resilience of the wider field, with Ahmedabad Apex Racers Mathias Alexander Forland retiring after one lap in the opening race. Godspeed Kochis Lily-May Watkins and Hyderabad Blackbirds Janine Wermuth also encountered difficulties in the wet conditions, highlighting the fine margins that shaped the three races. The Chennai round has significantly reshaped the championship battle, with Sambudla moving from five points behind Kyriakou to a 21-point lead after winning twice and finishing on the podium in all three races. Ntiyiso Mabundas three consecutive second-place finishes highlighted his consistency, while Mehtas historic maiden win added another milestone to a weekend defined by close racing, challenging weather and determined recovery drives. With the championship continuing into its next round, Sambudla leaves Chennai firmly in control of the standings, while Kyriakou faces the task of closing the gap. Mehta, meanwhile, emerges as one of the weekends breakthrough performers after converting his pace into a landmark victory for Kolkata Royal Tigers. Speed Demons Delhis Shahan Ali Mohsin converted pole position into victory in a closely contested opening race of the Indian Racing League (IRL) at the Madras International Circuit, holding off Goa Aces JA Racings Raoul Hyman by just 0.506 seconds over eight laps. Mohsin completed the race in 18:32.970 and recorded the fastest lap of 1:36.354, while Hyman charged from fourth on the grid to finish second. Chennai Turbo Riders Shane Chandaria completed the podium 2.690 seconds behind the winner, while Hyderabad Blackbirds Mohammed Ryan recovered from seventh to fourth. Kichchas Kings Bengalurus Emil Heyerdahl finished fifth, while Chennai Turbo Riders Sai Shiva Sankaran crossed the line sixth after starting third. Speed Demons Delhi also placed Sachel Rotge seventh following an impressive recovery from 11th, giving the team two drivers in the top seven. The top eight finished within 8.523 seconds of the winner, underlining the close competition in the opening IRL encounter.
