Sustainability and safety in the maritime sector mostly depend on the seafarers who ensure the safe and secure operation of ships. The selection of the ship's personnel is based on many criteria and is dictated by the seafarer's qualifications and the type of ship. The present study identifies 24 selection criteria in the form of personal, professional, physical, and technical competencies, categorized under four main headings, and calculates the weights of these criteria in terms of their importance. Then, the general seafarer criteria and the different criteria required by different types of companies are presented, and finally, a model is developed that can serve as a guide in the selection of seafarers, depending on the ship type. Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) are the multicriteria decision-making methods used in this study.
