Analyzing the Greek Marine Manpower in the Passenger and Cruise Markets Using System Dynamics

This The authors have applied the methodology of system dynamics modeling and simulation in the study of the depletion of the Greek maritime workforce with respect to parameters such as the flagging out rate from the Greek flag, the national maritime policy on the proportion of Greek and foreign seamen onboard Greek ships and the investment in seamen's life‐long training, as well as in improving the safety and quality of Greek ships. This work is in progress and this paper presents an initial approach to the problem, as well as some first insights gained.
