The lack of quality of seafarers accessible to shipowners is the main problem the maritime industry is facing in order to minimise losses. A shipping company’s safety and effectiveness depend on competent officers and a key component of safety performance is safety culture. Due to market pressures, there are times when seafarers who are hired lack the expertise, experience or attitude necessary to adopt business preferences, alter their conduct or make wise decisions. However, the evolution of safety culture among seafarers or the interrelation between the safety culture maturity level antecedents has only been exposed to a limited number of studies. A total of 286 respondents answered Microsoft Forms questionnaires. Using reliability, explanatory factor, normality, correlation, regression analysis and descriptive statistics in SPSS version 23, the data was quantified using a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis attested that the region’s seafarers are at a “calculative” maturity level. Information, organisational learning, communication, commitment and involvement were the organisational factors directly influencing the safety culture maturity. This study, is novel in the region and adds to the body of knowledge on seafarers’ level of safety culture maturity.
