Denizyolu ticaretinin lokomotifi olan gemilerde farklı milliyette 1.187.000 gemi adamı çalışmaktadır. Diğer bir deyişle bir milyondan fazla gemi adamı, dünya nüfusunun kalan kısmının yararı için çalışmaktadır. Denizcilerin ve sektörün önemi "Denizcilik olmadan dünya nüfusunun yarısı açlıktan yarısı da soğuktan yok olur." ifadesi ile belirtilmektedir. Denizcilik mesleği, diğer mesleklere göre önemli farklılıklara sahiptir. Gemi adamlığı ve denizcilik mesleği emek yoğun bir yapıya sahip olduğundan emniyet açısından azami ölçüde dikkat isteyen bir meslektir. Çalışma esnasında yaşanacak küçük bir dikkatsizlik bile ciddi yaralanmalara ve hatta ölümlere yol açabilir.

Literature review should be the first step to specify the green performance criteria for being an eco-marina. The aim of this study is to make a literature review around the concept of eco-marina and to provide to glimpse lots of articles by making a content analysis of academic studies. Dokuz Eylul University Electronic Library that served on EBSCOhost is used as a source of the content analysis for the literature review. As a result of the literature review, it is proved that there is no academic study about the concept of eco-marina directly, so the study is intensified around the terms of "green port", "sustainable port-marina", "eco-label" etc. After the search by these terms, 26 studies have been selected to use in the content analysis. Conceptual analysis technic is used in the content analysis and frequency analysis technic is also used for data analysis. As the remarkable results of the study; academic studies around ecomarina have been started in 2000's, by a majority handled in 2015, in the main done by academician in universities and mostly researched by institutions from Turkey. It's interpreted that; the results of this content analysis can be used for the studies which have an aim of presenting the eco-marina criteria those marinas should fulfil. The fact that the studies about this subject are very few, make this content analysis more important.

Similarly, the strategies for sustainability issues are also related to the managers’ competency on sustainability. Thus, for better sustainability performance, the managers are expected to possess competencies in this direction. In this context, this study is aimed to evaluate the operations managers’ competencies in terms of environmental sustainability in ports, which have huge effects on the physical and biological environment. For this purpose, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods, Analytic Network Process (ANP) was used to evaluate the priority weights of 15 competencies. Within a framework of container ports/terminals, the findings of this study show that “management skill”, “emergency procedures”, and “safety management” are the most primary competencies of port operations manager (POM) in terms of port environmental sustainability performance (...

Dealing with the stakeholders of a port, effective corporate performance should not be considered independent from sustainability principles. Therefore, ports should consider corporate sustainability, adjust their strategies accordingly, and target an effective sustainability performance. To perform sustainably requires employing competent managers who determine appropriate strategies for the port enterprise and ensure correct implementation. Thus, this chapter deals with the managers' competencies expected who play a role in ensuring effective sustainability performance in port enterprises. In this context, the managerial competencies gathered via the literature review were evaluated and the competencies that a port manager needs regarding sustainability performance were revealed. It is thought that the 35 competencies obtained will contribute directly to ...

Bu çalışma Çanakkale Boğazı'nda 2004-2014 yılları arasında gerçekleşen deniz kazalarının analizlerini ve istatistikî verilerini içermektedir. Bu çalışmayla söz konusu deniz kazalarının analizi yapılarak elde edilen istatistikî verilerin kullanılmasıyla Çanakkale Boğazı'nda oluşabilecek kazaların önlenmesine yönelik önerilerin sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Ana Arama Kurtarma Koordinasyon Merkezi'nden (AAKKM) elde edilen kaza verileri; kaza nedenlerine, kaza türüne, gemi türüne ve gemi bayrağına göre ayrıca Çanakkale Boğazı Sektörlerine ve aylara göre dağılım yönünden analiz edilmiş ve elde edilen sonuçlar grafiklere aktarılmıştır. Marmara Denizi Türkiye Çanakkale Boğazı 1: 75.000 ölçekli TR 212 nolu haritasına mevkileri harita sınırları içinde olan kazalar işlenerek kazaların yoğun olduğu bölgeler saptanmıştır. Analizlerin sonucunda kazaların en çok yaşandığı gemi tipi "Kuru Yük (Genel Kargo dâhil)", en sık görülen kaza tipi "Karaya Oturma"dır. Ayrıca sektörlere göre dağılımda "Sektör Nara" ön plana çıkmaktadır. Aylara göre dağılımda ise bariz bir şekilde öne çıkan bir ay bulunmayıp kaza sayıları birbirine yakın dağılmıştır. Son olarak, yapılan analizlerin sonuçları değerlendirilerek kazaları önlemeye yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Together with certain non-governmental organizations and media concerns about environmental protection, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been strict on controlling undesirable effects on the environment and, consequently, forcing shipping companies to minimize their emissions. Besides, today’s highly advanced technology companies over the world have developed various innovative systems that can be utilized to minimize carbon emission, thus giving assurance to relevant investors that their investments are most likely to turn out well with a considerable financial gain in the short or long term. Despite all such favorable developments, in a general look, shipping companies seem reluctant in making use of technologies providing efficiency in energy consumption. This reluctance has eventually brought about ...

Among these accidents, collision situations, due to their frequency and consequences, possess a great threat to the safety of navigation. The majority of these accidents are directly related to the operations within the ship and human errors. In this study, we explore the importance and the training needs for situational awareness and decision making for preventing collisions at sea through a literature review. Studies suggest that seafarers on board who are responsible for keeping navigational watch can both be the causer and preventer for collisions. Recommendations of the studies in the field point to the need for specialized training to improve situational awareness and decision making. Training seafarers’ expectations and goals for collision situations are proposed to achieve this improvement. Especially the usage of the training scenarios including unexpected situations to increase familiarity...
