ABSTRACT
An Occupational Analysis (OA) is the process of identifying the work scope of the
occupational area in terms of competencies. It is used to analyse skilled human resource
competency requirement for the industry. The development of the Occupational Structure is
a preliminary process in developing relevant National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS).
The NOSS in turn will be developed to be used as the basis to conduct skills training and
certification of competent personnel. This document is divided into several chapters, the first
being an industrial overview highlighting the definition and scope of the industry, the current
analysis of the local industry and its skilled worker requirements, Government bodies and
development plans supporting the growth of the industry, then the next chapter will explain
the methodology used in Occupational Analysis development such as qualitative analysis
through brainstorming discussion sessions and the formulation of the Occupational
Description. Workshops were held to get a better understanding of the organisational
structure, job titles, hierarchy objectives and main activities of the specified positions. The
final chapters will present the findings of the Occupational Analysis that is translated into the
Occupational Structures, levels of competencies and critical areas. These findings will in turn
be the basis of reference for the development of the National Occupational Skills Standard
(NOSS) document. The NOSS will serve not only as a reference of skills standards for
certification but also as a guide to develop the skills training curriculum. In order to conduct
the Occupational Analysis on the Marine Engineering Industry, all the information related to
the aforesaid industry was gathered through literature survey and further discussed in
workshop sessions with experts from the industry. During the development workshops, the
panel members had identified four sub sectors, 13 job areas and a total of 165 job titles that
reflect the main category of Marine Engineering in Malaysia. The four Marine Engineering
sub sectors are such as Ship Building & Ship Repairing, Offshore Fabrication & Installation,
Ship & Offshore Designing and Ship Board Operation. In Malaysia, this sector has great
employment opportunities. Furthermore, with strong support from the government and
private sectors, these areas could expand further in the future.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter will explain the objectives, scope and problem statement of the
Occupational Analysis for the Marine Engineering Industry. The background of
Occupational Analysis and its function in skills training and curriculum development is
also elaborated in this chapter.
1.1.1 INTRODUCTION TO OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT
An Occupational Analysis (OA) is the process of identifying the sectors, sub-sectors,

job areas and job titles for a particular industry in the form of Occupational Structure
(OS). The Occupational Analysis (OA) will also look at other elements such as common
job titles and levels of competency for skilled personnel in the industry, job functions,
industry overview, skills demand and individual job descriptions. Job scopes of each
job title will be detailed out in the Occupational Description (OD).
Every job title will be identified according to its level as defined in the Malaysian
Occupational Skills Qualification Framework (MOSQF) level descriptor (refer to Annex
1). It must be highlighted that the Occupational Structure should not reflect the
Organisational Structure but rather the competency levels and possible career path
for personnel under a particular sector in the industry.
The OA requires input from all parties especially industry players, statutory bodies,
training institutions among others. The identified job titles obtained during the OA
will be used as reference during National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS)
development. By developing the NOSS, personnel in the industry can be deemed
certified by undergoing three methods of skills training certification.
1 MARINE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY

2013
The first of the three methods are certification through full time training where the
candidate will undergo training from a minimum of 3 months for entry level
certificates (Malaysia Skills Certificate 1, 2 and 3) or up until over a year for Malaysian
Skills Diploma or Advanced Diploma. The second method is via the apprenticeship
scheme which is called the National Dual Training System (NDTS) where the
candidate can undergo training for a certain block of time then be attached to a
company in the related industry as approved by the Department of Skills
Development, Ministry of Human Resources. The third method is via Accreditation of
Prior Experience where the candidates that possess working experience may be able
to be certified based on duration of experience and proof of work.
The Department of Skills Development (DSD) formerly known as the National

Vocational Training Council under the Ministry of Human Resources coordinates the
setting up of all public and private training institutions, evaluates the demand for
existing and future skills, identifies future vocational and industrial training needs and
will continue to develop standards under the National Occupational Skills Standards
(NOSS).
Therefore, it can be said that with the development of the OA and subsequently the
relevant NOSS will provide wider opportunities for personnel to be trained and
certified. Figure 1.0 shows the significance of the Occupational Analysis (OA) for
policy and NOSS development used in Malaysian skills training.

1.1.2 MALAYSIAN OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK (MOSQF)
The development of the OA is ensured to comply with the MOSQF. MOSQF is a

framework that describes all skills qualifications awarded under the Malaysian Skills
Certification System. It is an 8-tier framework that consists of 8 levels which reflect
skills competencies in an occupational area (refer to Annex 1). However, for training
purposes, only the first 5 levels are being offered with skills qualifications namely
Malaysian Skills Certificate (MSC) Level 1, MSC Level 2, MSC Level 3, Malaysian Skills
Diploma (MSD) Level 4 and Malaysian Skills Advance Diploma (MSAD) Level 5. MOSQF
will serve as an instrument that develops and classifies skills qualifications based on a
set of criteria guided by the National Skills Development Act 2006 (Act 652). It was
benchmarked against international good practices in defining its level description and
was developed in line with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF). It is
aspired to become the national skills framework for all parties of interest such as
individuals, skills training providers, the Government, associations, professional
bodies, the industry sectors and the Malaysian communities.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this Occupational Analysis are to:
i. Identify the Occupational Structure and job titles available in the Marine
Engineering Industry
ii. Identify the levels of competency required beginning at the entry levels until the
highest level of competency
iii. Identify the job scope, job area and role of each job title identified including the
possibility of multi skilling between different areas as to increase employability
iv. Identify the specific job titles that are considered critical and require immediate
development of Standards & Curriculum

2013
1.3 SCOPE
The scope of this particular OA is focused on the Marine Engineering Industry and all
areas that are defined to be under the Marine Engineering Industry.
The Occupational Analysis on the Marine Engineering Industry will cover the scope of:
i. Occupational Structures;
ii. Occupational Area Analysis; and
iii. Job Descriptions.
1.4 PROBLEM STATEMENT, ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
There have been various National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) documents
developed for the Marine Engineering Industry covering areas of Marine Electrical
Maintenance and Technical Management, Marine Mechanical Engineering
Maintenance and Technical Management, Marine Hull Construction and Marine
Electronics Maintenance and Technical Management (Details of the existing NOSS
relevant to the Marine Engineering Industry are included in Chapter 2).
However, a complete analysis on the Occupational Structure of the Marine

Engineering Industry has not been undertaken before this. Marine engineering is the
discipline of applying engineering sciences, mostly naval architecture, mechanical and
electrical engineering, to the development, design, operation and maintenance of
watercraft propulsion and on-board systems. Therefore, in order to identify the
overall structure and available career paths in the industry, the Occupational Analysis
must be done on the Marine Engineering Industry.

2013
1.5 CONCLUSION
In the light of recent economic development in the Marine Engineering Industry, the
demand for sufficient skilled personnel has increased and the development of skilled
manpower is timely. By going through the mechanism provided by the Skills Training
system in Malaysia, one of the important steps is to identify the Occupational
Structure of the Marine Engineering Industry. With the Occupational Structure clearly
defined, the industry stakeholders will be able to identify areas that will require more
intensive efforts in human capital development. Although there have been past
efforts in National Standards Development for the industry, the need for an
Occupational Analysis is required to determine the overall areas that may not yet
have been focused on. We can assume that the Occupational Analysis to be a
blueprint of the manpower planning for the Marine Engineering Industry.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter will focus on the explanation of the Marine Engineering Industry, the
current scenario in Malaysia, introduction to government policies, development
plans, government bodies and industrial competitiveness at the international level
pertaining to the Marine Engineering Industry. Findings in this chapter were obtained
via literature review, observation, interviews with industry practitioners and
discussions during workshops with development panel members. This literature
review will be further discussed with panel members to obtain insight on the matters
at hand from a practitioners perspective.
2.1.1 DESCRIPITION OF MARINE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY
Marine engineering broadly refers to the engineering of boats, ships, Mobile Offshore
Drilling Unit (MODU) and any other marine vessel or floating structure. Specifically,
marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences, mostly naval
architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, to the development, design,
operation and maintenance of watercraft structure (hull) propulsion and on-board
systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and
control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships, submarines etc.
Not all of marine engineering is concerned with moving vessels. Offshore
construction, also called offshore engineering, ocean engineering or maritime
engineering, is concerned with the technical design of fixed and floating marine
structures, such as oil platforms and offshore wind farms. The term Marine
Engineering can also be defined broadly to include all enterprises engaged in the
business of designing, constructing, manufacturing, acquiring, operating, supplying,
repairing and/or maintaining vessels, or component parts there of: of managing

2013
and/or operating shipping lines, shipyards, dry docks, marine repair shops, shipping
and similar enterprises. Marine engineering will deal with the engineering design
work for any kind of maritime vessel or ocean-based structure that would cover
anything from offshore vessels to super yachts and Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit
(MODU).
The Marine Engineering Industry is defined into 4 main sub sectors which are:
i. Ship Building and Ship Repairing

ii. Offshore Fabrication and Installation
iii. Ship and Offshore Designing
iv. Ship Board Operation
The Ship Building / Ship Repair Industry as addressed in the Third Industrial Master
Plan (IMP3), is part and parcel of the marine transport sub-sector of the larger
1
transport equipment industry. Structurally, the ship building/ship repair industry
serves the shipping Industry in terms of building and supplying new vessels and
maintaining existing vessels operated or owned by ship owners. Ship Design activities
are high income activities and will contribute positively towards creating a high
income nation with the establishment of a big pool of designers. The realisation of
local design capabilities will support the Ship Building and Ship Repair sector to meet
the target in year 2020, of capturing 80 % of local new built market and 2 % of global
new built market.
2.2 EXISTING NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS STANDARD (NOSS)
In order to analyse the industry, the existing National Occupational Skills Standard
(NOSS) and Occupational Structure documents were referred. In the DSDs NOSS

2.3 CURRENT ANALYSIS, INDUSTRIAL DEMAND AND STATISTIC
Marine industries in this country had been established since the past many decades.
The industries vary from boats, ships and offshore platforms design, construction,
operation, maintenance, and repair to manufacturing of parts and equipment as well
as in oil and gas exploration and production. 2
Malaysia has what it takes to emerge as a serious player in the maritime industry
which includes shipbuilding, ship repairing, and maritime support services. Blessed
with favourable maritime features including being located along critical and busy sea
lanes, Malaysia has many advantages that can be harnessed to elevate the nation's
competitiveness and stature among key maritime nations. 3
Malaysia faces several constraints and challenges in the Marine Engineering Industry.
Among them are the strong competition from yards in other countries, rising cost of
raw materials, shortage of skilled labour among locals, excess capacity of yards and
high reliance on labour intensive activities. Partly because of these challenges,
Malaysian yards are not capable of building large sophisticated ocean going vessels
which leading shipbuilding nations like South Korea, Japan and China are renowned
for. As a result, local ship owners still depend on foreign yards for building, servicing
and repairing their vessels. This reliance on foreign made vessels and of the services
of yards abroad leads to foreign exchange outflow and contributes to the current
account deficit of the country. 4
Malaysia has many advantages and features that can be leveraged upon to make it an
internationally competitive shipbuilding and ship repairing nation. These include
excellent location along busy shipping routes, pro-business policies, and good

institutional framework, favourable maritime features for shipyard activities and
good infrastructure and many others.
In 2011, the Ship Building and Ship Repair Industry generated RM 7.05 billion in
revenue, provided more than 30,000 jobs and attracted investments worth RM6
billion approved by MITI.

(Source : Ministry of International Trade and Investment MITI)
Malaysia is poised to be one of the major ship building nations in the region with
close to 55,500 jobs opening up by 2020 and plans to capture almost 80% of the local
shipbuilding market by 2020. The country enjoys certain strengths such as its
strategic location, serving as a strong logistics hub in the region, financial stability and
a skilled workforce. However, certain weaknesses also include lack of government
involvement, lack of modular technology and marketing presence. As part of its
growth strategy, Malaysia plans to focus on building small/medium size vessels of up
to 30,000 tonnes rather than large container vessels.

2013
2.3.1 MARINE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY SKILLS DEMAND IN MALAYSIA
The marine industry is not only a conduit to Malaysia's trade but is also an important
source of employment. Various activities in the industry provide a platform for the
development of skills in a wide range of areas such as naval architecture, engineering
and fabrication.
There are five (5) capital shipyards which could handle work scopes on construction,
maintenance and repair of ships ranging from 300 up to 400,000 tonnes deadweight
and eighteen (18) medium and small size shipyards handling the same work scopes
for ships ranging from the smallest size of boats to the medium size of ships of up to
300 tonnes deadweight which are accounted for in Malaysia. These shipyards are
linked to networks of vendors, suppliers and original manufactures of the associated
materials, parts and equipment in the country and abroad which provide the
integrated technical and the logistic supports to the industries. These shipyards take
work orders from clients within the country and also from overseas. There are other
numerous unaccounted small yards and traditional boat builders operating along
many rivers and coastal towns in the West Peninsular and East Malaysia serving
individual boat owners, fishermen and petty boat operators. General survey carried
out shows that an average of up to 500 engineers and skilled technicians which are
categorised as engineering professionals and semi-professionals are employed by
every capital shipyard. Each of the medium and small size shipyards employs an
average of up to 50 engineers and skilled technicians. Therefore a rough figure of
more than 4000 engineering professionals and semi-professionals are employed in
Malaysian shipyards. 5
Statistic figures obtained from the Malaysian Shipowners Association (MASA)

excluding government agencies show a fleet strength of 589 vessels owned by the

2013
members, with a total capacity of about 10 million tonnes deadweight and nearly 7
million gross tonnages. With an average of up to 10 competent engineers and
engineering ratings employed per vessel, the total employment of professionals and
semi-professionals in seagoing ship operation by Malaysian ship owners is in the
region of 6,000 employees. However, due to lack of interest by Malaysian general
public despite attractive incentives offered by the government, almost 90% of the job
opportunities in the seagoing ship operation of Malaysian ships are grabbed by
foreign nationals.
It is estimated that about 5000 engineering professionals and semi-professionals

ashore (50% of the total employment in shipyards and ships operation) are involved
in the networks of vendors, suppliers, manufacturers and original equipment
manufacturers which provide the integrated technical and the logistic supports to the
marine industries in Malaysia.
A total of about 480 ships and boats of various sizes are owned by the various
government agencies including the Royal Malaysian Navy, Marine Police, Fishery
Department, Royal Custom and Excise, Port Authorities and the Maritime
Enforcement Authority. With an average of 15 shipboard and shore support
engineering personnel employed per ship, a total of more than 7000 engineering
professionals and semi-professionals are engaged in the employment by the various
government agencies. 6
In all, from the above statistics a total of about 22,000 engineering professionals and
semi-professional are currently employed in the marine and the related industries in
Malaysia excluding in the oil and gas exploration and production sector. Allowing for
a pessimistic growth of 8% to 10% inclusive of vacancies created due to workforce
retirement and migration to other industries in every five years ahead, a total of
6
Malaysian Marine Industries Perspective.University Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian Institute of Marine Technology

2013
more than 2000 professionals and semi-professionals are necessary to be produced
to meet the demand of the marine and the related industries in Malaysia. However
the actual demand in every five-year period ahead are expected to be more taking
into account of those intending to become individual technical entrepreneurs, taking
employment overseas and meeting the demand in the oil and gas industries.
The Government of Malaysia seeks to strengthen the capacity and the capability of
the shipbuilding and repair sector under the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3) from
2006 to 2020. This is necessary as to reduce the outflow of capital for the acquisition
of marine transport products, especially ships. The push to the shipbuilding and
repair sector is amongst the strategic thrusts for the long-term growth and viability of
the marine transport sector. The country imported passenger ships, LNG ships, LPG
ships, container ships, oil tankers, general cargo ships, barges and others. Many
shipping companies also leased or chartered the various types of vessel from abroad
as to cater the additional requirements to transport their commodities or goods out
of and into the country.
Malaysia is in dire need of professionals in the fields of relevant specialisation to

cater to the above industrial perspective. There is a shortage of shipyards in this
country that are fully capable in the entire development of ship design, be it for
merchant or naval vessels. This is one of the major reasons why our shipbuilding
industry lags behind China, Korea and Japan.
The full capability and capacity in ship design are necessary to be built up. The
Malaysian shipyards seemed to be more comfortable engaging foreign ship design
consultants than building own capability and capacity. Most Malaysian ship owners
prefer their vessels to be designed by foreign ship design consultants and constructed
at shipyards overseas. The present limited capability and capacity in the fields of ship
design and construction or shipbuilding needs to be enhanced as to ensure a long

2013
term sustainability and competitiveness. In order to support and materialise the
national industrial perspective in the marine transport sector, sufficient number of
professionals in the combined fields of specialisation (naval architecture and
shipbuilding) and others are necessary to be produced. It is timely to train and
develop technical entrepreneurs in the combined specialisation of Naval
Architecture, Shipbuilding, Marine Engineering, Subsea Engineering and Marine
Electrical and Electronics to be able to participate in the relevant activities of the
marine industries.
Out of the 30,000 strong workforces currently serving the industry, the blue collar
skilled workers and technicians represent the majority of the workforce. In order to
achieve the targets set for year 2020, it is necessary to fulfil the human capital
demand of the industry which is estimated that by 2020, an approximately 1,300
marine engineers and 2,300 technicians and mechanics specialising in aluminium and
steel welding and carpentry are required.
To fulfil the demand of workers in the Marine Industry, the role of training providers
to produce highly skilled workers are crucial. Currently there are various local training
institutions and universities that offer marine engineering courses, such as University
Technology Malaysia (UTM), University Pertahanan Malaysia, Akademi Laut Malaysia
(ALAM), Ungku Omar Polytechnic, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of
Marine Engineering Technology (UniKL MIMET), Sarawak Maritime Academy and
Ranaco Marine. 7
However, with the development of this Occupational Analysis, various National

Occupational Skills Standards can be developed that can pave the way to the
establishment of more skills training centres under the Department of Skills
Development offering courses in marine engineering.

2.4 INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARKING
A "benchmark" is a comparative tool of measurement. It is a standard or point of

reference used in measuring and judging quality or value. "Benchmarking" is the
process of comparison. The process of continuously comparing and measuring an
organisation against business leaders anywhere in the world to gain information that
will help the organization take action to improve its performance. In practice it is the
process of undertaking benchmarking that generates most benefits because it
challenges current norms. Benchmarking data can be obtained from international,
regional, and national sources. International organisations are one source of
benchmarking data, and increasingly make information available for online access
through the Internet. The three countries that have been referenced to in this study
are China, South Korea and Singapore. The figure below shows the countries (China
& South Korea) contribution to the global shipbuilding industry.

China is making a concerted effort to establish itself as a major maritime power. It is
now the world's largest shipbuilder in terms of gross tonnage, followed by South
Korea and then Japan. The high volume of these three Asian countries comes from
commercial, not naval (military), construction. Commercial shipbuilding has,
however, always been considered a strategic industry, and not only because its
infrastructure can also support warship construction. The Chinese-flag merchant fleet
numbers more than 1,500 ships, over 700 of which have a displacement over 10,000
deadweight tons. A study of the Chinese shipbuilding industry by the European
Commission found that Beijing has managed to expand its share of world shipbuilding
to 7 percent.
The South Korean ship building industry is recognised as the best in the world,
producing 350 commercial and military vessels per year, these range from VLCC
tankers (385 meters in length) LNG, LPG, car carriers (7000 cars) and container
vessels.

Based on a Harvard Business School Study, the above segregation of areas or clusters
shows a rough segmentation of the marine industry in South Korea. The steel
industry plays a key role in raw material supply to the shipbuilding industry and its
specialised suppliers.
The cluster is also supported by a large ecosystem of specialised suppliers producing

shipbuilding related components (Hull, Engine, Machinery and Electronics
components) as well as Outfitting services. South Korea completely depends on
imports for oil consumption, and re-exports about a quarter of its gross oil imports as
refined petroleum products, mostly to neighboring countries. The tourism sector
utilises the ferry boat products produced by the cluster for purposes of domestic
travel for mainland to island routes. Several key educational and research institution
supporting the cluster including the Korea Maritime University (Busan) and the Korea
Marine Equipment Research Institute (KOMERI) are located within the Gyeongnam
region itself.
The cluster also benefits from supply of Engineers from Seoul National University and
Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), as well as skilled workers
from vocational institutions such Ulsan Polytechnic College and Changwon
Polytechnic College. KOSHIPA is the leading shipbuilding association enhancing
cooperation amongst members and promoting their common interests, with
membership covering all major shipbuilders. Other key shipbuilding industry
associations include Korea Marine Equipment Association (KOMEA) and the Korea
Shipbuilding Industry Cooperative (KOSIC).
Singapore is the largest manufacturer of jack-up rigs, and commands 70 per cent of
the world market. It also has 70 percent of the global market for the conversion of
Floating Production Storage Offloading units. Towards meeting future demand for
energy, offshore deep-water along with unconventional oil & gas exploration and

2013
production activities will increase, to address the shortfall in conventional onshore oil
& gas resources worldwide. More sophisticated products and technologies will be
required to enable this new play in oil & gas exploration. For example, drilling rigs
operating in the North Sea need to be designed for harsh environment and need to
meet stringent specifications. The marine and offshore industry is on a roll, buoyed
by high oil and gas prices and an ageing offshore fleet. Singapore has been a big
beneficiary of the boom, having carved a reputation for consistent high quality and
timely delivery. An expert cluster of marine-related service companies such as those
providing classification services, maritime law and insurance services, and offshore
support services has developed in Singapore. The industry also reaps significant gains
from the country's robust and dynamic supply chain and precision engineering
infrastructure. In 2011, total output from the marine and offshore industry grew to
S$12.9 billion. Technology is a key driver for the marine engineering sector. To stay at
the leading edge of the industry, Singapore actively promotes R&D collaboration
between its educational institutions and the private sector. Key initiatives include the
Centre for Offshore Research & Engineering and Centre of Innovation Marine &
Offshore Technology. Additionally, both the Marine Centre of Innovation @
Singapore Polytechnic and Maritime Research Centre @ NTU work closely with local
yards, such as Keppel, SembCorp, and ST Marine, to develop new capabilities.
Singapore tertiary institutes have stepped up efforts to groom manpower for the
sector.
Based on the three benchmark countries shown above it can be summarised that in
order to develop a sustainable Marine Engineering Industry, there are several factors
that are instrumental such as:
i. collaboration between the industry and academic/vocational institutions

ii. intensive research efforts on the design and technology used in the marine
engineering field

2013
iii. strong support from the government and association that maintain the interests
of its members in the industry
Therefore, the development of Malaysias Marine Engineering Industry Occupational

framework is done with these international benchmarks in mind, but is specifically
guided by the local Marine Engineering Industry and government human capital
development plans.
2.5 STATUTORY & REGULATORY BODIES
i. Ministry of Transport
The Ministry of Transport is responsible to plan, devise and implement policies

with regards to rail, maritime, aviation transportation and ports, implement
physical development projects which involve rail, maritime, port and civil
aviation infrastructure, determining the pricing policy (except for land
commercial vehicles), monitoring of policies and concessionaire / government
linked companies, Identifying and monitoring legal issues, service and safety
standards and conduct regional and international cooperation programmes in
the transport sector.
ii. Marine Department of Malaysia (MARDEP)
The Marine Department of Malaysia acts as the regulatory body which audits
the respective training institutions and enforces the implementation of the
correct training programme for ship hull construction coordination/ marine
seafarers at those institutes. The role of MARDEP is to ensure that the study
program is in line with the STCW 2010, requirements where the workshop
facilities, teaching faculty members qualifications and the students entry
qualifications are in full compliance with the set standard.

2013
In compliance to this training requirement the institute will be categorized in
the International Marine Organisation (IMO) white list and its graduates will be
accepted globally. Since Malaysia is one of the participating country and also a
signatory to the STCW 2010 conference, the Acts will be enforced by MARDEP
under the Port State Control provision. Other related Acts applicable include:
Malaysian Shipping Ordinance 1952.

Environmental Act 1976.
Part of Petroleum Act 1984 (Safety Measures) and its regulations.
Guidelines, codes of practice, circulars of OSHA, with regards to the
respective acts, DOSH comes forward to apply the functions as stipulated
iii. Classification Societies
Classification societies set technical rules, confirm that designs and calculations
meet these rules, survey ships and structures during the process of
construction and commissioning, and periodically survey vessels to ensure that
they continue to meet the rules. Classification societies are also responsible for
classing oil platforms, other offshore structures, and submarines. This survey
process covers diesel engines, important shipboard pumps and other vital
machinery. Classification surveyors inspect ships to make sure that the ship, its
components and machinery are built and maintained according to the
standards required for their class.
Today there are a number of classification societies operating in Malaysia, the

largest of which are the American Bureau of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas,
Bureau Veritas and a locally founded one, Ships Classification Malaysia (SCM).
Classification societies employ ship surveyors, material engineers, piping
engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and electrical engineers,
often located at ports and office buildings around the world.

2013
In particular, classification societies may be authorised to inspect ships, oil rigs,
submarines, and other marine structures and issue certificates on behalf of the
state under whose flag the ships are registered. As well as providing
classification and certification services, the larger societies also conduct
research at their own research facilities in order to improve the effectiveness
of their rules and to investigate the safety of new innovations in shipbuilding.
There are more than 50 marine classification organisations worldwide, some of
which are listed below.

iv. International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
The International Maritime Organisation is the United Nations specialised

agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the
prevention of marine pollution by ships. The Convention establishing the
International Maritime Organisation (IMO) was adopted in Geneva in 1948 and
IMO first met in 1959. IMO's main task has been to develop and maintain a
comprehensive regulatory framework for shipping and its remit today includes
safety, environmental concerns, legal matters, technical co-operation,
maritime security and the efficiency of shipping. A specialised agency of the

2013
United Nations with 169 Member States and three Associate Members, IMO is
based in the United Kingdom with around 300 international staffs.
IMO's specialised committees and sub-committees are the focus for the
technical work to update existing legislation or develop and adopt new
regulations, with meetings attended by maritime experts from Member
Governments, together with those from interested intergovernmental and
non-governmental organisations.
The result is a comprehensive body of international conventions, supported by

hundreds of recommendations governing every facet of shipping. There are,
firstly, measures aimed at the prevention of accidents, including standards for
ship design, construction, equipment, operation and manning - key treaties
include SOLAS, the MARPOL convention for the prevention of pollution by
ships and the STCW convention on standards of training for seafarers.
In 1948 an international conference in Geneva adopted a convention formally

establishing IMO (the original name was the Inter-Governmental Maritime
Consultative Organisation, or IMCO, but the name was changed in 1982 to
IMO).
The purposes of the Organization, as summarised by Article 1(a) of the

Convention, are "to provide machinery for cooperation among Governments in
the field of governmental regulation and practices relating to technical matters
of all kinds affecting shipping engaged in international trade; to encourage and
facilitate the general adoption of the highest practicable standards in matters
concerning maritime safety, efficiency of navigation and prevention and
control of marine pollution from ships". The Organisation is also empowered to
deal with administrative and legal matters related to these purposes.

2013
On 1 February 1997, the 1995 amendments to the International Convention on
Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978
entered into force. They greatly improve seafarer standards and, for the first
time, give IMO itself powers to check Government actions with Parties
required to submit information to IMO regarding their compliance with the
Convention. A major revision of the STCW Convention and Code was
completed in 2010 with the adoption of the "Manila amendments to the STCW
Convention and Code". As IMO instruments have entered into force and been
implemented, developments in technology and/or lessons learned from
accidents have led to changes and amendments being adopted. The focus on
implementation continues, with the technical co-operation programme a key
strand of IMO's work.
IMO's mission statement, as stated in Resolution A.1011(26), which sets out

the Strategic plan for the Organization (for the six year period 2010 to 2015:
"The mission of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as a United
Nations specialised agency is to promote safe, secure, environmentally sound,
efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation. This will be
accomplished by adopting the highest practicable standards of maritime safety
and security, efficiency of navigation and prevention and control of pollution
from ships, as well as through consideration of the related legal matters and
effective implementation of IMOs instruments with a view to their universal
and uniform application."
v. Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA)
MMEA was formally established with the enactment of the Malaysian

Maritime Enforcement Agency Act 2004. Subsequently, the Act was gazetted
on 1 July 2004 and came into force on 15 February 2005. The agency achieved
operational status on 30 November 2005 with a soft launch. MMEA was

2013
officially launched by the Hon. Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia on 21 March
2006.

2013
2.6 RELATED POLICIES, ACTS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS FOR INDUSTRY
i. Standard of Training, Certification and Watch keeping (STCW 2010) - The 2010
Manila Conference
The Manila amendments to the International Convention on Standards of

Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers, 1978 and to the
Seafarers Training, Certification and Watch keeping Code, as amended (STCW
Convention and Code). Recognises the significant contribution made to
seafarers training and certification through model courses, validated and
published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) providing core
curricula based on the minimum requirements of the STCW Convention and
Code.
The STCW has assisted many training institutions to improve the quality of the
training they provide and have been used to improve procedures for assessing
competency by ensuring uniformity in the application of the training and
assessment provisions of the STCW Convention and Code.
ii. International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974
The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally regarded as the

most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant
ships. The first version was adopted in 1914, in response to the Titanic
disaster, the second in 1929, the third in 1948, and the fourth in 1960. The
1974 version includes the tacit acceptance procedure - which provides that an
amendment shall enter into force on a specified date unless, before that date,
objections to the amendment are received from an agreed number of Parties.

2013
As a result the 1974 Convention has been updated and amended on
numerous occasions. The Convention in force today is sometimes referred to
as SOLAS, 1974, as amended. The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is
to specify minimum standards for the construction, equipment and operation
of ships, compatible with their safety. Flag States are responsible for ensuring
that ships under their flag comply with its requirements, and a number of
certificates are prescribed in the Convention as proof that this has been done.
Control provisions also allow Contracting Governments to inspect ships of
other Contracting States if there are clear grounds for believing that the ship
and its equipment do not substantially comply with the requirements of the
Convention - this procedure is known as port State control.
iii. International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL)
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships

(MARPOL) is the main international convention covering prevention of
pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental
causes.
The MARPOL Convention was adopted on 2 November 1973 at IMO. The

Protocol of 1978 was adopted in response to a spate of tanker accidents in
1976-1977. As the 1973 MARPOL Convention had not yet entered into force,
the 1978 MARPOL Protocol absorbed the parent Convention. The combined
instrument entered into force on 2 October 1983. The Convention includes
regulations aimed at preventing and minimising pollution from ships - both
accidental pollution and that from routine operations.

2013
iv. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 - Act 415
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 - Act 415 provides the
legislative framework to promote, stimulate and encourage high standards of
safety and health at work. The aim is to promote safety and health awareness,
and establish effective safety organisation and performance through self-
regulation schemes designed to suit the particular industry or organisation.
The long-term goal of the Act is to create a healthy and safe working culture
among all Malaysian employees and employers. OSHA 1994 defines the
general duties of employers, employees, the self-employed, designers,
manufacturers, importers and suppliers of plant or substances. Although these
duties are of a general character, they carry a wide ranging set of
responsibilities. The Act provides a comprehensive and integrated system of
law to deal with the safety and health of virtually all people at work and the
protection of the public where they may be affected by the activities of
people at work.
The general duties of employers, employees, the self-employed, designers,

manufacturers, importers and suppliers of plant or substances are clearly
defined under OSHA 1994. Employers must safeguard so far as is practicable,
the health, safety and welfare of the people who work for them. This applies
in particular to the provision and maintenance of a safe plant and system of
work. Arrangements must also be made to ensure safety and health in the
use, handling, storage and transport of plant and substances. Under OSHA
1994, definition of plant includes any machinery, equipment, appliance, tool
and component, whilst substance means any natural or artificial substance
whether in solid, liquid, gas, vapour or combination thereof, form.

2013
Processes that use hazardous chemicals require competent persons to
conduct the air quality and personal monitoring, and a safety and health
officer and an occupational health doctor are required to ensure the proper
surveillance of the workplace.
There are seven regulations under OSHA 1994 that are enforced by DOSH,
which are:
Employers Safety and Health General Policy Statements (Exception)

Regulations, 1995
Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards Regulations, 1996
Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Hazardous Chemicals
Regulations, 1997
Safety and Health Committee Regulations, 1996

2.7 CONCLUSION
It can be summarised in this chapter that the Malaysian Marine Engineering

Industry has great potential. Malaysia has many advantages and features that can be
leveraged upon to make it an internationally competitive shipbuilding and ship
repairing nation. In order to support and materialise the national industrial
perspective in the marine transport sector, a sufficient number of professionals are
necessary to be produced. It is timely to train and develop technical personnel in
order to achieve the targets set for year 2020, which is estimated that by 2020, an
approximately 1,300 marine engineers and naval architects and more than 2,300
technicians and mechanics specialising in aluminium and steel welding and carpentry
are required. By looking at the examples of benchmark countries such as Singapore,
South Korea and China, research intensive activities that have served as an edge for
these countries in terms of production and design can be enhanced with a tight
collaboration between the government, the industry players, learning institutions
and research institutions.
3. OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the methodology of the overall Occupational Analysis process
that was conducted throughout the Marine Engineering Industry Occupational
Analysis.
3.2 OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS PROCESS
Below are the techniques used throughout the research conducted on the Insurance
Industry:

2013
(i) Preliminary information gathering
(a) Literature survey
A literature survey is carried out to get some insight on the scope, policies,
programs and activities in the context of the Malaysian scenario. The scope
covered under this survey includes descriptions, current analysis of the
sectors/ Sub-Sectors, current status of the respective industry, skilled workers
requirement in the local sector and the industrial competition at international
level.
(b) Survey/Questionnaire
The purpose of the survey is to collect the data and feedback from the
industries on the supply and demand on skilled workforce, job scope, nature
of work, occupational description, occupational structure, career path,
current and future trend of the industries.
(c) Interview
Interviews are one of the methods to reinforce the information gathered from
the survey. The Interview focuses on the main industry players and
stakeholders to seek their opinions and/or impressions.
(d) Identifying industrial experts
Industrial experts who represent small, medium and large scale industries are
identified and short listed for further communication and contact. Normally
these experts are from Human Resources or managerial levels that have an

2013
overall view of the skilled workforce in the industry. They should have
sufficient experience and substantial knowledge on industry growth.
(e) Brainstorming session
The Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) technique is commonly used in OA.

The session is attended by industrial experts where they will discuss
exhaustively on the Sub-Sectors and areas involved. The facts obtained during
the literature survey will be discussed and presented to the industry experts.
(ii) Analysing the information
Based on the activities done above, substantial data and information will then
be collected. The data and information will then be discussed and analysed in
development workshops attended by selected key persons or experts from
the public and private sector. The presence of the key persons or experts
ensures that the development of the Occupational Analysis is current and
relevant.
During this session, the respective industry is analysed using the

DACUM/DESCUM and brainstorming methodology to identify the following:
(a) Scope of the Industry and its Sub-Sector ;
(b) Main areas;
(c) Occupational groups of the sector;
(d) Job title;
(e) Critical job title;
(f) Hierarchy structure (Level 1 8); and
(g) Occupational Description.

2013
(iii) Development Workshop and interviews with development panel members
Workshops and interviews were conducted during the development of the

Entertainment Industry Occupational Analysis. Follow up discussions with the
expert panel members were done in smaller groups to verify the findings of
the Occupational Analysis. The details of the workshop are as below:

(iv) Finalising OA Documentation
Follow up discussions with the industrial experts and proofreader in a small

group is vital to ensure all the findings of the occupational analysis are valid,
reliable and sufficient.
The final report of OA must be well presented with discussion, conclusion and
recommendations in order to guide the general readers and interested parties
to comprehend about the skilled workforce scenario in the industries.
Details of the process flow in developing the OA is as shown in Figure 5.0.

3.3 OCCUPATIONAL DESCRIPTION DEVELOPMENT
The Occupational Description (OD) is the detailed description of the main job scope
of the job title. Below are the main steps in producing an OD for the respective job
titles:
i. determine the main sub-sectors and areas in the sector;

ii. identify the job titles; and
iii. identify the job scope.
To describe the Occupational Description clearly, the statement must consist of an

Object, Verb and Qualifier. The rationale of determining the description attributes is
to facilitate NOSS development especially in job and competency analysis.
a) Object
The object is determined first before the verb and qualifier. It is the main
determinant to distinguish one job to another. The objects are acquired from the
industrial experts during a brainstorming session and written on DACUM cards so
that all the experts can see the objects identified. Objects of those in the related
area or sub-sector are determined as in the example below.

Figure 6.0: Example of Identifying Objects
b) Verb
The verb is then determined based on the level of difficulty of the identified job
titles, such as below:
Object : GHG emission data
Verb for Level 3 : Calculate and analyse
Verb for Level 4 : Verify
Verb for Level 5 : Endorse

2013
Hence, the contents of the job definitions will be as below:
Carbon Footprint Lead Auditor (Level 5)

Endorse GHG emission data + (qualifier)
Carbon Footprint Auditor (Level 4)
Verify GHG emission data + (qualifier)
Carbon Footprint Data Collector (Level 3)
Calculate and analyse GHG emission data + (qualifier)
c) Qualifier
Based on the example above, the statement is not clear as there is no qualifier
for the object, therefore a qualifier must be added to further clarify it. Below is
an example:
Calculate and analyse GHG emission data according to determined
standard
3.4 CONCLUSION
These chapters have elaborated on the methodology used in the study which is
through literature review, brainstorming sessions and DESCUM (Development of
Standard and Curriculum). The development of the Occupational Structure and
Occupational Description obtained via brainstorming sessions will be presented in the
next chapter, Chapter 4, Findings.

4. FINDINGS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The identified sectors for the Marine Engineering Industry were obtained through
discussions with industry experts during the development workshop sessions and
interviews. Based on the discussions held during development workshops, the
development panel members had identified that the main sectors under the Marine
Engineering Industry in Malaysia were to be segregated into 4 different Occupational
Structures which are Ship Building and Ship Repair, Offshore Fabrication and
Installation, Ship Design and Ship Board Operation.
4.2 OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE AND OCCUPATIONAL AREA STRUCTURE
The Occupational Structures for these sectors are included in this section, firstly the
sectors and relevant areas are shown, then following them will be the Occupational
Structures that show the common job titles in the industry and are presented under
each relevant sub-sector and area.
Following each Occupational Structure framework is an Occupational Area Structure

that depicts the common job scope for each of the areas as defined in their
respective occupational structures. In the Occupational Area Analysis, job titles under
the same area may be combined if the job scope is similar. This is to show the
common responsibilities of the personnel regardless of job title, as job titles may vary
between different institutions and organisations. Below are the descriptions of each
of the different sectors and sub sectors:

2013
i. Ship Building and Repairing
Under this sub sector, there are 5 areas that are pertinent to ship building and
ship repairing which are piping, electrical and instrumentation, hull,
mechanical and preservation. The personnel under the piping area may start
as Fitters at Level 1, Piping System Technician at Level 2, Piping System
Supervisor at Level 3, Piping System Technical Executive at level 4 and finally
as Piping System Manager at level 5. These personnel will be responsible for
the ships piping system preparation, fabrication, installation and
maintenance.
The personnel under the Electrical and Instrumentation (E & I) area are
responsible for the preparation, installation, maintenance and management
of the ships electrical devices, electrical appliances, lighting system and
overall electrical system. The Instrumentation personnel under the E & I area
will perform the testing and calibration of the electrical devices, appliances
and lighting on the ship. This is important to ensure that they are in good
working condition and are accurate. The personnel start their careers as
Junior Technicians at Level 1, then proceed as Technicians at level 2,
Supervisors at level 3, Technical Executives at level 4 and finally as Managers
at level 5.
The Hull area involves personnel who will be responsible for the construction
of the ships hull which is the body of the ship. The personnel at entry level 1
are divided according to their specialisation of material used to build the ship
hull. These materials are aluminum, composite, steel and wood. Then for each
material they will be further divided into hull and outfitting work. Outfitting is
the fitting of parts other than that of the Hull. Entry level personnel at level 1
are as Fitters that proceed to level 2 as Technicians, to Level 3 as Supervisors

2013
and at Level 4 & Level 5 they will be able to oversee hull and outfitting work
for all types of materials as their competencies are the same for the higher
levels.
The personnel under Mechanical are divided into Engine, Propulsion,

Auxiliary, Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) and Cargo System.
HVAC systems can provide ventilation, reduce air infiltration, and maintain
pressure relationships between spaces. The three central functions of heating,
ventilating, and air-conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to
provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable
installation, operation, and maintenance costs. The means of air delivery and
removal from spaces is known as room air distribution. Propulsion
Engineering focuses on the propulsion systems that power the various marine
vessels. The kind of propulsion system that will power a maritime vessel will
depend on the size of the vessel, what sort of waters its going to be entering,
what the function of the vessel is etc. The Auxiliary sub area is responsible for
the operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical equipment and systems
installed in spaces outside of the engine room. The personnel under the
Mechanical area start at Level 1 as Junior Mechanics, Mechanical Fitters for
Propulsion, HVAC and Auxiliary. However, the entry level for Cargo Systems
starts at Level 4 as Technical executives due to the complexity of the system.
The Preservation area deals with Painting, Blasting and Fairing work that deal
with the exterior and surface preparation of the ship. Fairing is coating used
on luxury ships. The personnel start at level 1 as Painting, Blasting or Fairing
Junior Technicians then at Level 2 may advance as Technicians, at Level 3 as
Supervisors. At Level 4, they will be Blasting & Painting Executives and at Level
5 as Blasting & Painting Managers, where they will be able to oversee both

2013
painting and blasting work as their competencies are the same for the higher
levels.
ii. Offshore Fabrication and Installation
The next sub sector is Offshore Fabrication and Installation which are usually
platforms and other vessels than ships. The areas and levels of competencies
under this sub sector are mostly similar such as Piping and Electrical &
Instrumentation however the skills and technologies used are different from
those under the Ship Building & Ship Repairing sub sector.
Under the Structure area, the personnel are responsible for the fabrication of
the steel structure where their entry level is at Level 1 as Steel Structure
Fitter. They may proceed to higher levels until the highest level which is as the
Structure Manager at Level 5.
Outfitting is also another area that deals with the fittings and fixtures other
than the main structure, where personnel start at Level 1 and are known as
Accommodation & Outfitting personnel until Level 5 as Accommodation &
Outfitting Managers.
Under the Mechanical area the difference with the Mechanical Engineering on
Ships is that there are no cargo systems. The level of competencies are the
same for the Engine, Propulsion, Auxiliary and Marine HVAC between the
Mechanical area for Ships and Offshore structures though the personnel
require different skills and technologies.
The Preservation area under Offshore Fabrication and Installation involves

Blasting and Painting work that deal with the interior and exterior surface

2013
preparation and coating of the floaters (vessels). The personnel start at level 1
as Painting or Blasting Junior Technicians then at Level 2 may advance as
Technicians, at Level 3 as Supervisors until Level 5, where they will be Blasting
or Painting Managers.
iii. Ship and Offshore Designing
The Ship & Offshore Design sub sector consists of the Naval Architecture,
Electrical & Instrumentation and Mechanical Piping Design personnel. Naval
Architecture focuses on designing the structure of various maritime and naval
vessels. Personnel in this field must ensure the design of vessels that are both
extremely safe under the often wild conditions of the ocean, but are still able
to effectively perform whatever function theyve been designed for. Electrical
& Instrumentation design personnel are responsible for the design of
electrical systems on ships and other offshore structures. Personnel under
the Mechanical Piping Design area are responsible for the design of piping
systems. The personnel under this sub sector start at Level 3 as Draughtsman
in their respective areas and may proceed until the highest level as Design
Specialists.
iv. Ship Board Operation
The Ship Board Operation sub sector consists of personnel under Deck
Operation and Engine Operation. The personnel start at Level 1 in their
respective areas and may proceed until the highest level of competency as the
Captain for Deck Operation and Chief Engineer for Engine Operation. It must
be highlighted that the personnel under this area that wish to serve on board
seagoing vessels must comply with the Malaysian Marine Department
(MARDEP) requirements that follow the international STCW Convention

2013
(Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping). Ship Board Operation
(Engine Operation) positions are as below:
Chief Engineer: In charge of the engine department.
Second Engineer: In charge of the day-to-day running of the engine
department. Often in charge of main engine maintenance.
Oiler: A Rating who is responsible for ensuring that machinery is
adequately lubricated.
Wiper: The lowest rating in the engine room and is tasked with
keeping the machinery spaces clean and tidy. Wipers usually go on to
become oilers once they are familiar with engine room machinery and
specific routines. A wiper is the entry level position in the engine
department. The name came from the job function on old-fashioned
ships, with a wiper actually wiping the equipment off, as well as
watching and learning from the more experienced members of the
engine department. Today the wiper is more like a "gofer," helping
and assisting everyone else in the department.
The Deck Operation area consists of personnel in charge of the Deck area of
the ship such as below:
Captain: The Captain is responsible for the safe and efficient operation
of a merchant vessel, including crew management, navigation, cargo
operations and making sure that the vessel is in compliance with all
international and local laws, as well as any state or company policies.
Chief Mate : The Chief Mate is the head of the Deck Operation area or
Deck department of the ship. This involves administrative tasks such as
scheduling work, quality control, coordinating with other departments,
and conflict resolution. The Chief Mate also compiles supply, overtime,

2013
and cost control records, and requisitions or purchases stores and
equipment.
Bosun : A Bosun is responsible for the rigging, anchors, cables, sails,
and other items that are used to keep a ship running smoothly.
Watchkeeping Officer: The Watchkeeping Officer in nautical terms
concerns the division of qualified personnel to operate a ship
continuously. On a typical sea-faring vessel, be it naval or merchant,
personnel keep watch on the bridge and over the running machinery.
They are responsible for the safe navigation of the ship. Safe
navigation means keeping the vessel on course and away from dangers
as well as collision avoidance from other shipping.
Able-Bodied Seamen (AB) and an Ordinary Seaman: On a fully manned
ship, each deck watch consists of an Able-Bodied Seamen (AB) and an
Ordinary Seaman. The ABs will divide their time between the helm
station, standing lookout on the bow, and standing by in the crew
mess or the crew lounge for any duties that may arise. The Ordinary
Seaman will work as directed by the Chief Mate and the Bosun.
4.2.1 OCCUPATIONAL AREA ANALYSIS
The Occupational Area Analysis is done so that the current job titles in the industry
are translated into the job areas required of the personnel. In doing so, candidates
will have better employment prospects as there will be no mismatch of job titles to
expected job competencies. This is because different organisations use different job
titles. Certification will also be able to reflect the job competencies correctly and
avoid confusion of job scope based on job titles.
For the Ship Building and Ship Repairing job areas, it has been analysed by expert
panel members that personnel start their careers at Level 1 where their job areas

2013
consist of installation, operation and maintenance work. They will be specialised in
their areas of production at level 1 until level 3 respectively. At Level 4, their scope of
work will consist of operation, installation and maintenance coordination in their
respective areas. At Level 5, their scope of work will consist of operation, installation
and maintenance management in their respective areas.
Under the Ship & Offshore Design sub sector personnel start at Level 3 where their
job scope is design operation and they may advance until Level 8 and conduct Design
Planning.
Under Ship Board Operation, the personnel at Levels 1 and 2 have been merged
because their job scopes are similar and may be combined into one area. Whereas at
Level 4 and Level 5 the personnel will focus on Deck Administration and Management
in their respective areas.

4.3 CRITICAL JOB TITLES
This section will highlight the skilled personnel requirement in the Marine Engineering
Industry job areas which are in demand currently and in the near future. There were
job titles identified during the brainstorming session with the panel members that they
had categorised as critical. The job titles which were not considered as critical were
because the current numbers of personnel under these categories were sufficient.
Based on input from the expert panel members, the following table is the list of the
critical job titles within short term and medium term.

5.3 DISCUSSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure that Malaysian marine based industry remain competitive in the global
employment market, the manpower in the industry need to be trained in the advanced
technology of current ships. This requires many corrective actions at the national level
to enhance their training much beyond the current scope of current curriculum and
make them competent to meet the technology challenge of new ships and thereby
enhance their employability globally. A number of initiatives are required to meet
these challenges which include revision of the curriculum, course certification and also
general enhancements of the training infrastructure. Academic institutions and other
skills institutions should play an important role in addressing this issue. As the result
from this Occupational Analysis, it can be the basis of restructuring their training
programs and curriculum. Endowed with strong government support, this industry
could expand more and continuously contribute to Malaysian economy. It is hoped that

2013
the result of this Occupational Analysis will be able to be used as reference as how to
fulfill the future plans of developing skilled personnel and certifying Malaysians in the
Marine Engineering Industry towards improving the quality of the local industry and at
boosting Malaysias global competitiveness.
