Maritime English

Hello! Name : Avito Rizky Ramadhan NRP : 203005 Majoring : NAUTICAL SCIENCE 2

Maritime English The most practical definition of Maritime English was provided by Short (2006). She stated that “Maritime English is the English language that is necessary to function within the maritime industry, with its widely diverse activities.” (p. 8). She further explained that Maritime English is full with idiomatic expressions used by contemporary seafarers and these terminology need to be understood nowadays as they are relevant to many specialized ships, gas and oil tankers, communications at sea, loading and discharging of cargo and other ship’s routine operations. In the teaching-learning discipline, Maritime English is placed at the same level with other forms of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) but is quite different in emphasis from English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and English as a Second Language (ESL). In simpler words, Maritime English is defined as English that is being used in the maritime industry that covers not only ship operations but also other operations that are related with it such as port state control, harbor authority, oil and gas, power generation, marine transportation and etc. 3

Facilitating of role Maritime English Maritime English is an umbrella term which refers to the English language used by seafarers both at sea and in port and by individuals working in the shipping and shipbuilding industry. Maritime English lies in the domain of workplace English. Merchant ships (and auxiliary craft) are used in the name of today’s global trade to facilitate the worldwide haulage of freight among distant locations and the movement of passengers where other modes of transport are not appropriate, possible, or even cost-effective. Ships’ crews and shipping-industry personnel are necessary to conduct a ship (and passengers aboard) safely to destination and deliver commodities effi ciently while, at the same time, protecting the marine environment and safeguarding the fi nancial interests of all relevant parties and stakeholders. 4

Navigation Competence So, the maritime training and certification system is tried, tested, and works well. It rests, as we said in the introduction, on the concept of “competence”. What does that really mean though, and how can it be managed by shipping companies, ship managers and operators? The key to competence of seafarers is to manage those skills, while also ensuring they are up to date, recognized and certified. Which may seem straightforward with the STCW guidelines to follow, but there are challenges too. Competence is the ability of an individual to do a job properly, while a competency is a set of defined behaviors providing a structured guide enabling the identification, evaluation and development in individual employees. The competence theory states that children will gravitate to areas in which they perceive competence and avoid areas where success is hit or miss, and a sense of accomplishment is lacking. Successful and failed mastery attempts result in reinforcement of the domain that a person migrates towards. 5

Seafarer Competence on board The key to competence of seafarers is to manage those skills, while also ensuring they are up to date, recognized and certified. Which may seem straightforward with the STCW guidelines to follow, but there are challenges too. Competence is the ability of an individual to do a job properly, while a competency is a set of defined behaviors providing a structured guide enabling the identification, evaluation and development in individual employees. 6

Competence of life saving sailors Saving lives at sea concerns various aspects, among others the most important of which is the obligation and responsibility to provide assistance to people or people in danger. As a basis for that responsibility is the International Convention that has been enacted in Indonesia regarding the safety of the Human Soul at Sea 1974 (SOLAS '74) Chapter V, Regulation 10. The obligation to provide assistance and the right to request assistance as mentioned above, is also regulated in the Ship Regulation 1935 article 159. Although ships are burdened with the obligation to provide assistance and the right to request assistance, every ship before providing assistance or receiving assistance from other vessels, shall overcome its own difficulties and make every effort to free the ship and its crew from a greater disaster 7

Planning and ambition My future plan is I want to work in a foreign company or in a state – owned company. I want to be a captain on a ship. I have a dream to work abroad do that I can meet people from all over in the world and from various professions so I get some perspectives from different people different country in order to upgrade myself to be better. My goal is to have this dream because I want to help my parent and want to have my own capital for my future. From the result I go to sea, I can use it to build a cattle farm and have a wholesale shop or so on. My ambition after graduating from STIMARYO are must be able to work on foreign ships because I am motivated by my brother who can work abroad and I am often encouraged to be able to replace him working of foreign ships and I want to show my parents that I can work abroad. I also want to experience foreign ships with a fairly large salary and see overseas ports that are quite good. 8
