Implementing Safety Culture through Onboard Ship Simulation in Maritime Education & Training
Year: 2024
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This paper explores the implementation of safety culture in maritime education through the introduction of life simulation aboard ships, as practiced at Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran.The initiative addresses the significant contribution of human er-ror to maritime accidents, advocating for an innovative educational approach that incorporates real-world safety practices from the maritime industry.By simulat-ing life onboard a ship, this approach seeks to instill a safety-first mindset among maritime students from the outset of their training.The study examines the inte-gration of international standards such as SOLAS, ISM, ISPS, and STCW into the educational framework, highlighting the potential of such simulations to en-hance the competencies of future seafarers.The findings suggest that the simula-tion program not only improves students' practical skills but also fosters a deeper understanding of safety protocols, which are crucial in minimizing accidents at sea.
