UTILIZATION OF THE REGASIFICATION PROCESS TO AVOID DELAYS IN CARGO OPERATION DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE ON TANKS ON PGN FSRU LAMPUNG SHIPS

Abstract

The maritime industry faces challenges brought about by global competition and technological advancements, necessitating companies to optimize their human resources management to maintain competitiveness. Seafarers frequently change employers upon contract completion, posing difficulties for shipping companies in cultivating loyalty among crew members. Economic crises, increased competition, and a shortage of qualified seafarers further complicate recruitment and retention efforts. This paper explores the factors influencing seafarer loyalty to shipping companies, focusing on cadets who serve as a potential recruitment source. The theoretical framework incorporates the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior to examine the attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control affecting seafarer loyalty. The study employs qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews with senior seafarers and company management, and career data analysis. The findings reveal that factors such as positive experiences, company reputation, career prospects, and working conditions contribute to seafarers' loyalty. Key conclusions highlight the importance of company reputation, overall job satisfaction, and factors related to compensation and career progression in influencing seafarers' loyalty to shipping companies.
