“…The challenges and opportunities of OBT for cadets seafarers are multifaceted. Magsino et al (2023) and Lee et al (2021) both highlighted the need for improvements in the OBT environment, with a focus on technical tasks, work stress, and the provision of personal protective equipment. These challenges are compounded by the rapidly modernizing maritime industry, as discussed by Mickevičiūtė (2020), which necessitates the transformation in seafarer education and training to include the development of social skills and emotional intelligence.…”

Onboard Training (OBT) has been recognized as one of the most effective means of practical training for seafarers as part of Maritime Education and Training. The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978, as amended prescribes 12 months as the minimum mandatory seagoing service for candidates for officers in charge of a navigational watch. Within this period, cadets are required to complete their OBT requirements which may include Training Record Book tasks, project work, among others. In terms of cadets’ work and rest hours onboard the ship, the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) stands as a pivotal governing international instrument including the working and living conditions of seafarers, in general. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the amount of work and rest hours to the productivity of deck cadets in a structured OBT program onboard a training ship. Through quantitative research, the researchers gathered the records of work/rest hours of 53 deck cadets during their training program and analyzed their OBT documents to determine their progress. Results showed that the cadets were able to accomplish their OBT requirements within the allowable work hours as stipulated in MLC, 2006. Further, the researchers concluded that there is no relationship between the number of rest hours and their productivity, which was attributed to the merits of a structured OBT program. This study recommends to look for opportunities to improve the structured OBT program onboard training ships, and furthermore, investigate the same onboard commercial vessels setting.

As a country that has more than half of the country's total territorial waters, Indonesia is highly dependent on shipping activities. Therefore, knowledge of policy updates for each ship from IMO must also be taken into account, one of which is the policy regarding the Ballast Water Management System, which requires every ship to be installed with a Ballast Water Treatment System in order to achieve the goal of a green environment in voyage areas by inhibiting the spread of microorganisms that endanger the area that is caused by ballast water. This regulatory update then creates problems, especially for ships that have been operating for a long time, because the ship has to comply with the standards for D-1 and then also have to comply with the D-2 standards according to the time specified in the convention. So, this review article will discuss the solution to the issues with retrofitting ballast water treatment systems as the addition of a new system to the existing system on a ship that has sailed and pay attention to conceptual aspects consisting of considerations and operations to find the type of ballast water treatment that suits each ship's needs by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each technology type method. There is also consideration for several stages that are commonly used to determine the type of treatment, starting with assessment and planning requirements, selection of space, compliance with BWMS regulations, selection of the ballast water treatment system method, engineering drawing, installation planning, and commissioning. Apart from that, several related innovation considerations were also discussed, including the development of alternative treatment technology, which has the potential for efficiency both in operational aspects and safety standards. Based on research developments, retrofitting the Ballast Water Treatment System with the ultra-violet (UV) treatment is well known as the common treatment beside the electrolysis treatment. The results obtained show that the ultra-violet (UV) method is one of the most efficient treatments when viewed from the way it works and the time duration for the treatment process. This proves that ultra-violet treatment can produce maximum efficiency if the selection of needs and consideration of maximized aspects also exceed the safety aspect as well.
