Abstract Safety and productivity are crucial considerations when evaluating the effectiveness management has exhibited in their control of the operations involved with maritime transport and port management. Recent maritime and port management research has been concentrated primarily on the use of state-of-the-art technologies that result in the level of productivity becoming less dependent on the workforce. However, industry experts have consistently recognized and been concerned about challenges that remain in the enhancement of workforce productivity and safety. No readily available guide describing how to conduct activity analysis has existed until now. Hence, this research project involves the investigation and application of “activity analysis” methodologies. Activity analysis denotes the extension of simple work sampling so that it becomes a continuous productivity and safety improvement program. Such a program entails a cyclical process designed to quantify the activities of craft workers to identify barriers to safety and optimal productivity, to implement improvements for reducing or eliminating these barriers.
