Abstract

Deck officer selection is a difficult process for maritime companies due to the high number of them and their limited experience. Choosing the right candidate is very important both in the safe navigation of the ship and in the long-term planning of the companies. There are many criteria used in the selection of these candidates in the literature and in practice. This study is aimed to determine the criteria that are planned to be used in the selection of particulary deck officer. In this direction, the criteria in the literature were analyzed in detail, and the final criteria were determined with the interviews of human resources managers. The criteria, in which the human factor characteristics predominate, are grouped under two main categories: personal and non-technical competencies and occupational and technical competencies.
