dc.description.abstractBusinesses in these industries must function economically because shipping companies are crucial in allowing the international movement of goods and services. Kenya National Shipping Line (KNSL) is said to be struggling to exist due to incapacity to compete globally. Furthermore, due to poor performance, a number of shipping companies have continued to fire workers. This study combined a cross-sectional survey research design with a descriptive research approach. The sample size will be 81 personnel, with the target population being all 22 registered shipping lines with headquarters in Mombasa. The questionnaires, which were semi-structured, were used. Using Cronbach's alpha, the questionnaire's dependability was assessed. The construct and content validity were tested in this research. The quantitative data was analyzed using a descriptive analysis method, and regression analysis was utilized to establish the link between the variables. The effectiveness of shipping businesses in Mombasa County was shown to be significantly and favorably impacted by the strategic surveillance control system, premises control system, special alert control system, and implementation control system. The study came to the conclusion that strategic surveillance controls enable the management of the business to keep an eye on various sources for hazards. Premise control enables the management of the organization to determine whether the assumptions established are still true after implementing their ideas. In light of these new developments, special alert controls enable the organization to reevaluate the strategy's applicability, and implementation controls make sure that no changes to the strategy are required. The study recommends that the association ought to take on essential observation frameworks through an expansive based, general checking in view of chosen data sources to distinguish occasions that are probably going to affect its methodology. The organizations ought to utilize premise control frameworks to carry out restorative activity on a case by case basis, as opposed to going on with a technique in light of wrong presumptions. In case of an unexpected and startling occurrence known as an emergency, associations ought to involve explicit alarm control in light of a trigger component for quick reaction and prompt procedure update. By distinguishing and observing vital pushes like measuring the market acknowledgment of another item after pre-testing or checking the reasonability of an expansion program subsequent to putting forth beginning attempts to look for mechanical coordinated effort, the association ought to try execution control.en_US
