Abstract
STCW Convention, which has been defining maritime education and training, introduced a concept of competence-based approach (into education) in 1995. The analysis of STCW Convention and related IMO Model Course 7.01 has shown the prevalence of professional competences in them whereas generic competences are only marginally present in both of them. STCW Convention and related IMO Model Courses are both missing a detailed classification of generic competences as well as an insight into generic competences needed on board ships. Real world situation review of duties aboard LNG and cruise ships has shown requirements for their inclusion within STCW Convention and related IMO Model Courses. Hence, a more explicit definition of generic competences required of the master and the first deck officer on board is the main purpose of this paper. Required generic competences have been suggested upon a thorough analysis of the master and the first deck officer’s scope of duties on board LNG ships as well as cruise ships, and are classified into three categories: instrumental, individual and systemic. Additionally, each competence has been assigned with its accompanying occurrence on board a ship.
