Sail Confidently. Speak Clearly. Work Safely.
At sea, communication is more than words — it’s survival.
From giving commands on deck to reporting weather conditions, clear English can save time, avoid misunderstandings, and even prevent accidents.
That’s why Maritime English is one of the most valuable skills for every sailor, officer, and crew member.
Why Maritime English Matters
English is the international language of the sea.
Whether you’re working on a cargo ship, a cruise liner, or in a port, English connects multinational crews and ensures smooth operations.
Key areas where English is essential:
