AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MAJOR OIL COMPANIES ON CREW SELECTION CRITERIA FOR TANKER OPERATING SHIP MANAGEMENT COMPANIES
Öz
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.
