“…With the economic development, the process of globalization continues to advance, the international environment is stable, and the global shipbuilding industry gradually recovers [1][2][3][4][5]. The number of new ship orders gradually decreases, making the supply and demand of the ship market more balanced.…”

With the continuous advancement of economic globalization, the second-hand sailboat market is also booming. However, many problems have arisen during the development process. To standardize the second-hand market, provide reasonable second-hand sailboat pricing, and stabilize the development of the second-hand sailboat market, this article constructs a relevant data model and provides several suggestions. To build the model, this article partially visualized the monohulled sailboat data and conducted chi-square analysis on factors such as region and sailboat age. It also drew a correlation matrix between various factors to obtain their correlation. Combined with data, factor analysis was used to reduce the dimensions of the considered factors. Finally, multiple regression was used to construct a model for the listing price of second-hand sailboats. The relevant data was obtained through a crawler program from SailboatData.Com.

Marine fouling, such as heavy slime, is the result of algae and other invertebrates settling and growing on the surfaces of planning hulls that are immersed in water. This may result in a range of serious and costly economic problems. The amount of resistance that planning hulls encounter when operating in maritime settings is an important aspect that considerably impacts the performance, energy efficiency, and operational expenses associated with these hulls. Because of this, the focus of this investigation will be on high-speed planning craft ships. In recent years, there has been a rise in the number of instances in which this sort of ship has been used for military, commercial, and recreational purposes. With the use of CFD analysis, the purpose of this study is to conduct an exhaustive investigation into the effect that the surface roughness of heavy slime has on the resistance of planing hulls. The results will be compared to a reference scenario, including a hydrodynamically smooth hull, to determine how much heavy slime affects resistance. According to the findings of this research project, the presence of heavy slime on the surface of a high-speed planing ship had a significant impact on the performance of the ship, particularly on the friction resistance, which saw an increase of up to 65% as a consequence of the presence of the slime. The results of this study will have substantial repercussions for ship designers, naval architects, and operators. The findings will provide them with useful information that will allow them to improve hull designs and devise effective tactics for fouling management.

Learning outcomes At the end of the session, learners are expected to be able to evaluate the detrimental impact of stress on blue-collar workers’ well-being in Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd; develop effective strategies to improve stressful conditions experienced by blue-collar workers in Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd; analyse and select appropriate approaches that can help maintain the motivation levels of blue-collar workers in Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd; analyse the impact of Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd’s extensive investment in training new blue-collar workers, alongside the subsequent high turnover rate, on the decline in sales and profit; identify the critical changes that the managing director should have implemented to prioritize employee retention among blue-collar workers at Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd; discuss the strategic implementation of mechanization, specifically in the context of automating repetitive processes, as an innovative solution to address the challenges faced by the ship repair and maintenance service industry heavily reliant on blue-collar workers in emerging markets; cultivate thoughtful debates on ways to keep blue-collar workers in the shipping repair and maintenance industry, as well as active learner participation and group interaction; develop learners’ analytical and critical thinking skills by guiding them through the analysis of a real-world case study in the shipping repair and maintenance industry, concentrating on the difficulties and potential solutions for blue-collar worker retention; and equip learners with practical knowledge and insights on implementing effective human resources strategies for retaining blue-collar workers in the shipping repair and maintenance industry, emphasizing the conversion of theoretical concepts into workable solutions. Case overview/synopsis This teaching case study centres on Attainer Engineering Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian conglomerate that bestows ship repair and maintenance services. Regrettably, the corporation has been subjected to a decrease in profitability and productivity owing to its high turnover rate of blue-collar workers. The ship repair and maintenance service industry is accountable for delivering comprehensive repair and maintenance services to ships, including their engines, hulls, machinery and other related components. The fundamental aim of this case study is to ascertain the rudimentary factors that contribute to this issue and foster effective strategies to enhance the motivation and retention rate of blue-collar workers in the ship repair and maintenance service corporation, using appropriate management theories, models and concepts. The case study brings to light the importance of discovering the most suitable approaches to retain blue-collar workers in the corporation to improve its profitability and productivity in a highly competitive market. This teaching case study will be beneficial for students and practitioners who want to grasp the disputes associated with retaining blue-collar workers in the ship repair and maintenance service industry and learn how to apply management theories, models and concepts to address these disputes effectively. Complexity academic level This case discussion would be highly suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate university students who are pursuing their studies in management or related fields and are eager to delve into the nuances of the ship repair and maintenance service industry. Furthermore, trainers from both private and public agencies who are keen on gaining a deeper understanding of the issues pertaining to retaining blue-collar workers in this particular industry and devising result-oriented strategies to tackle these concerns would also find this case discussion immensely helpful. Supplementary materials Teaching notes are available for educators only. Subject code CSS 6: Human resource management.
