A Study on the Key Competencies of theHarbor Boats Seafarer of the Taiwan International Port MarineCorporation, Ltd. / 臺灣港務港勤公司港勤船舶從業船員關鍵能力之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 商船學系 / 105 / Taiwan, as a typical island country, features its colossal shipping industry.Incoming as well as outgoing of ships in harbors depends on the assistance from
harbor pilots and harbor tugs. Tugs are the most important harbor boats, as they havebeen used frequently in harbor operation. Currently however, differences between “importance” and “practicality” have existed in occupational competence required for the tugboat crew. This study focused on Taiwan International Ports Marine
Corporation, Ltd., the largest tugboat contract company in Taiwan harbor operation. It is hoped that with the position of the status quo and structures of the tugboat industry, the crew quality could be adjusted and enhanced, thus fulfilling key competencies required for the industry, decreasing the cognitive differences between the crew and the industry, and serving as an effective reference for future crew cultivation.

A comparative analysis from previous studies was first carried out in this study, followed by the investigation into key abilities possessed by the staff of Taiwan International Ports Marine Corporation, Ltd. Expert survey was adopted to generalize key factors, and analytical hierarchy process was employed for data analysis. Finally, semi-structured interview was used to guide interviewees to propose suggestions concerning the chosen issues. The findings offer references for domestic marine operators and related administration, enabling talent cultivation of domestic marine staff to be valued.

The results revealed that key factors of current marine staff in Taiwan included the following five aspects: (1) professional skills, (2) self-adaptability and management, (3) interpersonal relationship, (4) willingness to learn and working attitude, and (5) health and judgement. Among those factors, willingness to learn and working attitude as well as professional skills weighed the most, followed by health and judgement, self-adaptability and management, and interpersonal relationship. Therefore, the core ability features of Taiwan marine staff were willingness to learn and working attitude as well as professional skills. Hence, building a sound system to strengthen the staff’s willingness to learn and to keep cultivating qualified staff has been the core issue in the current stage.
