Platform

A structured tool for measuring
maritime behavioral competencies.

PERMISS uses the six OCIMF soft-skill domains as the
institutional baseline and extends the assessment model
with five additional competencies identified through
research, industry input, focus groups, and
empirical analysis.

What PERMISS Measures

Why PERMISS Expands the Framework

The existing OCIMF framework is a valuable starting point, but modern maritime
operations require a broader understanding of behavioral performance. PERMISS
adds dimensions that better reflect multicultural crews, operational pressure,
procedural discipline, and decision-making complexity.

How it Works

PERMISS does not treat soft skills as isolated traits. It analyzes
how they interact and how improvement in one area may affect another.
