Abstract

This research investigates the implementation and perception of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) among cadets in the Port and Shipping Management program at the Jakarta Maritime Institute. Through qualitative interviews and surveys with 50 cadets, key K3 aspects such as hazard identification, safe work practices, and physical health were examined. The results reveal a strong emphasis on preventing accidents and injuries, while also highlighting areas for improvement in mental health, healthy lifestyles, and productivity-related aspects. Additionally, the research assesses the alignment of K3 practices with international standards and regulations, such as the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). While certain K3 aspects and regulations are compliant, there are opportunities for further improvement to ensure full alignment. The implications of the research extend to policy and practice in the maritime industry, emphasising the importance of continuous evaluation and refinement of K3 practices to foster a stronger safety culture among future maritime leaders and enhance the overall safety and health of workers in the maritime sector.

Abstract

The maritime industry plays a critical role in global trade but faces growing pressure to integrate environmental sustainability into its operations. This research analyzes the industry using the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) framework to understand the relationship between market structure, firm behavior, and both economic and environmental performance. The study provides original value by extending the traditional SCP model to include environmental sustainability, addressing a critical gap in previous research. Key research questions include how market concentration, regulatory compliance, corporate environmental responsibility (CER), and technological innovation affect both profitability and sustainability. Using qualitative data from industry professionals and maritime educators, the analysis highlights that proactive regulatory compliance and high CER commitment drive superior economic and environmental outcomes. Firms that invest in green technologies enjoy enhanced performance, while those prioritizing short-term profits struggle with long-term competitiveness. The results offer practical insights for policymakers and industry leaders, emphasizing the need for inclusive market structures and stronger regulatory frameworks to support sustainability across the sector.

Abstract

This research investigates maritime health literacy among cadets, focusing on its alignment with international standards and implications for professional practice in the maritime industry. Using qualitative methods, the study explores cadets' perceptions and experiences regarding health management practices onboard ships. Findings reveal a strong alignment with safety and environmental protocols outlined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). However, gaps in practical training effectiveness and continual professional development highlight areas for improvement. Cadets express the need for enhanced practical simulations and lifelong learning initiatives to better prepare for health-related challenges at sea. The study also identifies positive perceptions of health promotion policies mandated by the maritime labour convention, underscoring industry commitment to promoting occupational health and safety standards. Recommendations include integrating comprehensive mental health support, fostering collaborative research efforts, and conducting longitudinal studies to assess the sustainability of health literacy interventions. By addressing these recommendations, stakeholders can enhance operational efficiency, promote crew welfare, and sustain a culture of safety within the maritime sector.
