Course Description

This course forms part of the proposed Modular Framework under STCW for vocational and professional qualification based on a degree program in Navigation Engineering. The course gives students an in-depth expertise of managing a naval vessel as a Deck Officer and ultimately as the captain of the vessel as far as Maritime English is concerned. In this particular case the emphasis is upon Maritime English which will provide the student with the international standards of the maritime world as well as the unique English terminology used in Maritime Shipping.

 

Course Objectives

 

The objective is to provide the students with the following scope of Maritime English themes seeking fluency in their command in Maritime English both in verbal and written terms as well as comprehension. 

  1. Help cadets improve their speaking skills through discussion sessions on hot maritime topics as well as recent developments
  2. Build self-confidence in expressing themselves in English using all relevant maritime terminology they have gathered so far.
  3. Discuss and practice port state control procedures and best practices
  4. Inform them on the documents and official papers to be carried onboard
  5. Update the cadets on recent inspection aspects carried out by various Port State Control MoUs and  their latest campaigns
  6. Update the cadets on terminology of recent Maritime conventions that have entered into force
  7. Records to be Maintained and Kept Onboard,
  8. Review written communications and correspondence
  9. Provide and assess simulator based hands-on verbal VHF communication practice (SMCP refreshment )
