1618 - Maritime English for Seafarers

Maritime English Training is a highly practical, shipboard-focused language pathway specifically designed to bridge the communication gaps encountered by seafarers in real-world nautical environments. Moving away from traditional textbook grammar, this course embeds English learning directly into immediate shipboard scenarios—such as gangway greetings, internal radio protocols, navigation bridge actions, and emergency drills. It equips crew members of multinational backgrounds with the operational confidence and linguistic teamwork required for smooth, efficient, and safe daily operations at sea.
