This study identifies factors that have implications on shipboard safety vis-a-vis marine engineers' initial and continual learning. Through experimental research it confirms the positive impact of collaborative learning.
A review of investigation reports concerning accidents occurring in ship machinery spaces has indicated that nearly one fifth of all accidents/incidents are attributable, at least in part, to the deficiency in knowledge and skills of shipboard engineers. It addresses issues that need consideration for developing a suitable mechanism to channelize the natural process of on-the-job learning for continual professional development of shipboard engineer officers.
