Abstract

Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Basic Training (BT) is mandatory for every seafarer before starting to work on board merchant ships. The knowledge attitude and behaviour (KAB) theory explains that knowledge enhances ones attitude thus leading to improved behaviour. Accordingly this study determined the effects of BT on seafarers shipboard safety KAB. The process commenced by ascertaining whether the BT course offered in the Maritime Institutes was on par with BT contents provided by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). For data collection and filtration purposes the factors filtering elements and filtered model (FFF model) were utilised to measure safety education and KAB. Following this a measurable questionnaire was developed for this particular study survey. The data collected were then analysed by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) which involved the use of SPSS and AMOS SPSS. Essentially data obtained from the respondents successfully established the impacts of BT on the KAB which revealed its role in improving the seafarers KAB. Therefore the factors identified in this study are expected to be utilised in maritime institutions as BT syllabus incorporates domains aimed to instil the right attitudes among seafarers.
