Abstract:
Developing a comprehensive policy and strategic model of the maritime
education and training (MET) system that can be effectively monitored to
achieve an effective Maritime Labour Employers’ (MLE) trust is important.
The Standard of Training, Certificate and Watchkeeping (STCW) is an
international instrument used to enhance seafarers’ competency and to
reduce maritime accident rate caused by human error. However, the MLE
may still doubt the competence of a seafarer who had undertaken the MET
utilizing the STWC. This research is aimed to identify the key factors that
affect the MLEs’ trust in the MET system.
