Summary/Abstract: We currently live in a period when knowledge and competencies have become strategic resources that brings a company’s success. In maritime field, the company’s ability to use seafarers and employees’ intellectual capital and proper technologies is what makes it competitive on market and able to develop innovative integrated solutions that create value for customers. In the knowledge-based economy, focus in sea transport is not solely on technical operations and maneuvers but also on the human dimension that was previously neglected, and particularly on leadership and command techniques. Today, an essential importance is given to research of human resources – a veritable strategic resource for this domain.
