2. 1. A Mixed Crew Complement : A maritime safety challenge and its impact on maritime education and training

   Author : Jan Horck; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multiculture; communication; shipping; education; teacher; seafarer; context; maritime;

   Abstract : The human factor/human element starts to have a key role in accidents and incidents during shipments at sea. Investigations show that poor communications increasingly are the root for many tragedies. A possible reason for communication constraints is the growing trend to employ multicultural crews.
