I am a crew member of APL. If you want to go abroad, you need to find an intermediary, because this is the rigid policy of the China government. Domestic intermediaries are similar, but I suggest you go to Sinotrans. After all, Sinotrans is a state-owned enterprise with its own industry and logistics. For seafarers, it's not their main business, so naturally they won't deduct too much money from you. For private enterprises, it is the biggest development of Xinyusheng. Judging from the development scale, Xinyusheng is still quite large. You can apply for sinotrans first if you have the conditions. Fortunately, the two agencies have delivered ships to many shipowners recently. I think you have a chance to go to better shipping companies, ocean tankers, OOCL, APL, MOL, Mask, CGCMA, NYK, NORD. Good luck.
