Standard di Maritime English: Una base comune per l’efficacia della comunicazione a bordo

The aim of this study is to make a comparison between the regulatory framework and actual common practice concerning the teaching and use of Maritime English. This comparison is directed at understanding the variables and identifying the issues that lead to the divergence between the two. Therefore, by relying on a custom-designed survey, this work investigates the way in which these issues interlink with the Italian Maritime English Teaching system and delves deeper into the perception that seafarers have of this matter.
