Abstract

The international shipping industry is the backbone of global trade, with around 90% of international trade carried out by sea. As an integral part of the global transportation system, this industry plays an important role in facilitating the exchange of goods and services between countries. In this context, the quality and competence of seafarers is a crucial factor in ensuring the safety and efficiency of ship operations. This research explores the influence of Certificate of Competency (COC) and Certificate of Proficiency (COP) diplomas on seafarers' salaries in Indonesia, a developing country with unique maritime industry characteristics. Using a quantitative approach, this research analyzed data from 49 seafarers, and found that COC had a significant positive influence on wages, while COP did not show a statistically significant influence. These findings emphasize the importance of COC certification in increasing seafarers' earning potential, and suggest that the focus of seafarers' career development be directed at achieving higher COC levels for career advancement in the maritime industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the optimization of the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the loading and unloading process at the Port of Sorong, Southwest Papua, in line with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Number PER.08/MEN/VII/2010. With a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with workers, supervisors, and port management. The results of the study indicate that although PPE has been provided in accordance with the standards, the level of worker compliance is still low, mainly due to discomfort and lack of awareness of the importance of work safety. In addition, suboptimal supervision and unclear sanctions also contribute to low compliance. This study recommends increased supervision, stricter implementation of sanctions, and the provision of more ergonomic PPE to improve occupational safety and operational efficiency at Sorong Port.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) in enhancing Maritime English proficiency among cadets at Sorong Merchant Marine Polytechnic. A quantitative approach was used, employing pre-test and post-test evaluations, along with a questionnaire to assess cadets’ language development and perceptions. The study involved 24 fourth-semester cadets in the Nautical Studies program. Results showed a significant improvement in Maritime English proficiency, with average test scores increasing from 69.7 (pre-test) to 95.7 (post-test), demonstrating a substantial 26-point improvement. Statistical analysis (paired t-test, p < 0.05) confirmed the significance of this improvement. The questionnaire results indicated that cadets viewed the CBI approach as highly effective, with an average satisfaction score of 4.5 out of 5. This research highlights the success of CBI in bridging the gap between language acquisition and real-world maritime contexts, suggesting it could serve as a valuable model for Maritime English instruction in similar educational settings. The findings support the integration of CBI into maritime curricula to better prepare cadets for the linguistic and operational demands of the global maritime industry.
