MarTEL - Maritime Tests of English Language
At present no international or European standard for Maritime English exists; therefore
MarTEL has been created as a system of Maritime Tests of English Language.
This project intends to establish a set of standards by transfer of innovation from
existing English language standards and maritime English model courses such as the
IMO’s, SMCP (Standard Maritime Communication Phrases). It was noted that
deficiencies in maritime English caused accidents and therefore needed to be taught
seriously in the basic and the main training of all chapters of the IMO’s STCW
Code of practice.
