Tanker shipping which is a special sub-sector of maritime transportation

industry plays an important role for the world trade. As oil and its derivatives

transported by tankers is the fundamental component for developing industries, its

transportation becomes an indispensable issue. Though petroleum and chemical

transportation is important for all industries, due to its structural properties, these

cargoes include major risks for the environment. There have been some enforcement

and impositions to the tanker operating ship management companies to minimize

these risks. Herein, MOC (Major Oil Companies), the most important players in the

world petroleum industry, has made such impositions on tanker operating ship

management companies. Enforcement and impositions on human factor which is the

most significant element in a business has a critical importance to minimize these

risks. Thus, this study aims to reveal the effects of MOC on the personnel selection

criteria of the ship management companies that operate tankers. To achieve this aim,

a total of 12 companies operating in Turkey and having largest fleet were selected.

An interview was conducted through these companies and the data obtained were

analyzed by content analysis of qualitative research methods. As a result, it is

revealed that major oil companies have an impact on personnel selection process

and activities. Generally, these effects have been about duration of the contract, the

number of crew required to be on board, company internal promotion procedures,

recruitment process of new employees to the company, and crew training.
