The «Maritime English» subject covers both theoretical and practical aspects of working safely with electrical equipment. Proficiency in this area is a clear indicator of an employee’s competence in their specific role on a vessel. Maritime English is crucial for seafarers as it ensures clear and effective communication on board ships and in ports, contributing to the safety of both the crew and the vessel. Given the international nature of the maritime industry, having a common language like English is vital for smooth coordination among crew members from different linguistic backgrounds. It also supports compliance with international regulations and conventions, making it a fundamental part of maritime operations and a key element in preventing accidents and emergencies at sea.
