Abstract

Ocean-going ship plays an important role for the transportation around the world, and the capability of ship crew is crucial for the safety of life and property because of the extremely unpredictable and dangerous circumstance in the ocean. However, the competency characteristics has not been well established, especially in our country. To address this issue, the competency of the ship crew was investigated under current situation in this research. Firstly, the job analysis and literature investigation were utilized to study the potential competency. Secondly, the ship crew were interviewed through the BEI method. At last, a competency questionnaire was designed and conducted for the selected ship crew. The results of questionnaire survey were analyzed trough statistical analysis, which tested the reliability of the competency model for the ship crew. Overall, the proposed model in this research provided a theoretical and technical basis for competency modeling for the ocean-going ship crew.
