Abstract

Safety and security measures in the shipping industry play a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and reliable cargo and passengers operations at each stage of the supply chain. The ISPS Code was adopted into SOLAS convention to protect seafarers and vessels from security threats. Furthermore, according to the Manila amendments to STCW Convention in 2010, personnel employed on board are required to participate in security training. Effective seafarers' education and training programs are of major importance to guarantee satisfactory performance levels onboard to minimize security-related risks. The study's contribution focuses on empirically evaluating the relationship between personal level of awareness and security performance when seafarers undertake security training courses. Findings of this study suggest that (1) seafarers who undertake maritime security training have a higher awareness of ship security, (2) security training and security awareness have a positive influence on security performance, and (3) security awareness mediates the impact of security training and security performance. In conclusion, education and training programs are key tools in enhancing seafarers' security awareness and security performance which, from an industry viewpoint, can translate into major economic, operational and reputational benefits.

선박의 안전과 보안의 유지는 공급망의 각 단계에서 화물운송 및 여객의 인명 안전을 보장하는데 중추적인 역할을 한다. ISPS Code는 선원과 선박을 보안 위협으로부터 보호하기 위해 SOLAS 협약에 채택되었고, STCW 2010 마닐라 개정에 따라 선원은 반드시 보안 교육을 이수해야 한다. 효과적인 선원의 교육과 훈련은 선박의 보안 관련한 위험을 최소화하기 위한 적절한 이행활동의 수준을 보장하는데 중요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 선원들이 이수한 보안교육과 선원의 보안인식 및 선박의 보안성과 사이의 관계를 실증 분석하는데 있다. 연구 결과에 따르면 (1) 선박 보안 교육을 이수한 선원들은 선박 보안에 대한 인식이 높고 (2) 이러한 보안 교육 및 보안 인식은 선박의 보안성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, (3) 보안 인식은 보안 교육과 보안성과 관계에서 매개 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 보안 교육과 훈련은 선원의 보안인식과 보안성과에 중요한 영향을 미치며, 이는 결과적으로 해운산업에서 보다 경제적 운영적 및 이미지 측면에서 주요 이점으로 해석될 수 있을 것이다.
