ABSTRACT: Objective: The study aims to examine the relationship between occupational noise exposure and the levels of physical, mental, and emotional fatigue among speedboat crew members.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among speedboat crew members in Tarakan, North Kalimantan, Indonesia on November 2024. This study involves two categories of ship personnel as samples, namely, crew members and captains were 87 crews were enrolled in this study. We calculated using Spearman's rho models to analysed the data.Results: The study found that occupational noise levels on speedboats ranged from 77.9 to 100.9 dB(A), with one vessel exceeding the safe exposure threshold. The level of fatigue among the respondents is mostly in the low category (69% - 74.7%). Occupational noise aboard speedboats is a significant contributor to physical (r = .715, p = .040) and mental fatigue (r = .839, p = .022).Conclusion: The results of the statistical test indicate that, besides the main research variable, other confounding variables correlate with the fatigue levels of the crew, such as age, educational background, and working period. While overall fatigue levels were low, the study highlights the need to address noise exposure and other correlated factors to safeguard seafarers well-being.
