Effectiveness of implementation of Standards of Training Certification and Watch Keeping (STCW) manila amendment 2010 with against seafarers' basic safety

Proper readiness for sailors is the primary key to safety in sailing. Theoretical efforts and practical efforts need to be directed and appropriate. Education and training are one of the efforts that can be made in providing training on seafarer safety standards referring to the 2010 Manila Amendment STCW. This research was conducted to implement seafarer safety standard training using a simulation method. The research subjects were 100 cadets divided into two simulation groups, namely the cadet group with socio-drama simulations and the cadets with role-playing simulations. The results showed that the implementation of the 2010 Manila Amendment STWC using the simulation method had a positive impact on cadets. Both simulations show a good average score. But the role-playing simulation showed better results than the socio-drama simulation. This study shows that simulation application is appropriate and supports the strengthening of basic safety provisions at sea with the 2010 Manila Amendment STCW standards.
