Effective communication is a mandatory requirement of the IMO STCW Convention, SOLAS, ISM Code and additional international standards
to ensure the safety of crews and vessels. A breakdown in communication
can have far-reaching consequences for the crew, the marine environment,
the cargo, vessel and the ship operator. English is acknowledged to be
the common working language of shipping internationally, however, crews
have varying standards of Maritime English competence.
This course builds on our years of expertise as established global leaders in Maritime English assessment
and training.
Set on the “MV Marlin”, the course consists of five units, each with a different maritime theme which integrates grammar, maritime vocabulary, SMCP and pronunciation into a comprehensive self-study programme.
The course includes the following components:
0808.01 - Welcome on board
0808.02 - Safety on board
0808.03 - Engine Room Watchkeeping
0808.04 - Incidents on board
0808.05 - Arrival in Port
Suitable for all seafarers at elementary language level.
This course aims to develop the Maritime English level of seafarers, focusing on the specific communication needs of marine engineer officers and crew.
Through taking this course, seafarers will improve their English language and communication skills within multi-national crews, during
inspections and in ship /shore communications.
The course meets the IMO Model Course 3.17, Maritime English (General Maritime English) requirements for Maritime Engineers and is suitable for seafarers at elementary (A2) language level.
