Abstract:
The world witnessed an economic impact upon nations when
shipping business plays it roles.
Michelle Rita Grech et al wrote in 'Human Factors in Maritime Domain'
that there is growing realization within the maritime community that the
consideration of human factors issues is vital. Contrary to the aviation
domain, however, very little research and documentation has been
published on human factors in maritime domain. Thus, the significance
of this paperwork will help this vital asset in industry that is human
factor that is very demanding. This paperwork entitled 'A case study of
perception of seafaring jobs among secondary school students in Kuala
Terengganu' is made in conjunction to the hypothesis whether the
shortage of seafarer worldwide is correct. To measure the scope of
study, it is also put into the consideration the regional trends and
divisions between senior officers, junior officers and ratings, and
measures to improve the recruitment in the traditional maritime areas.
This paper helps the school students to have a further understanding
about the career in maritime field and helps to clear up their
misconception about the wrong information regarding career onboard
ships.
