Abstract:

This research aims to provide a general overview of the feasibility aspects of Traditional Shipping in terms of the competency aspect of Human Resources (HR). Using qualitative descriptive methods, data was collected through literature studies, questionnaires, field observations and in-depth interviews. The results of the research show that human resources in this sector are dominated by individuals with low formal education, but who have quite a lot of practical experience. Technical competencies such as navigation, ship maintenance and shipping safety still rely heavily on traditional knowledge and field experience. In addition, managerial and leadership capabilities are also limited, often informal and community-based. To improve the quality and professionalism of Traditional Shipping human resources, improvement efforts are needed through continuous training programs, formal certification, and increasing access to maritime education.
