Research Foundation
PERMISS was developed through literature review, analysis of
established maritime frameworks, benchmarking from other sectors,
and targeted maritime research.
OCIMF as the Starting Point
The methodology begins with the six soft-skill domains recognized
in the OCIMF framework: Management & Leadership, Decision-Making,
Situation Awareness, Teamwork, Communication & Influencing,
and Focus on Goals.
Project Extension
PERMISS expands this framework by adding five further dimensions:
Cultural Intelligence, Responsibility, Organization, Critical Thinking,
and Emotional Intelligence.
Industry Input
The model was shaped through focus groups and interviews with
maritime executives, including CEOs, Crew Managers, HSQE/HSQR
Managers, and professionals involved in crew and vessel operations.
Pilot Testing & Validation
The assessment tool was piloted with +2000 seafarers to test clarity,
usability, terminology, completion time, and suitability for different
ranks and roles before wider application.

From theory to practice, PERMISS was designed
to be credible, usable, and relevant to real shipping
environments.
