<![CDATA[The maritime transportation sector, particularly tanker operations in the oil industry, requires highly competent ship crews to ensure safe and efficient operations. Crew performance is a critical factor that influences operational productivity, safety standards, and the reliability of ship activities. This study aims to examine the influence of work experience and training on ship crew performance, with work skills acting as a mediating variable. The research was conducted on the MT Griya Enim ship involving crew members who actively participate in ship operational activities. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method, where data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 41 crew members selected as respondents. The collected data were analyzed using Path Analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 23 software to examine the direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The results indicate that work experience and training have a positive and significant effect on work skills and crew performance. Furthermore, work skills significantly influence the performance of the ship crew. Mediation testing also reveals that work skills play an important mediating role in strengthening the relationship between work experience, training, and crew performance. These findings emphasize the importance of improving training programs and strengthening practical work experience to enhance crew competencies and overall operational effectiveness in the maritime transportation industry.]]>
