Sinopsis : Maritime English for Deck Officers is a comprehensive instructional textbook designed to support cadets, deck officers, and maritime students in developing professional English communication skills within the maritime domain. The book integrates practical language use with operational knowledge required on board vessels, ensuring that learners are equipped to function effectively in international maritime environments.

The content is systematically organized into thematic chapters covering essential aspects of shipboard operations, including self-introduction on board, ship familiarization, crew responsibilities, mooring and anchoring procedures, navigation in fairways, maritime radio communication (Distress, Urgency, and Safety), onboard safety management, weather interpretation, and cargo handling operations. Each topic reflects real-life shipboard situations and is aligned with international maritime communication standards, particularly the Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP).

A distinctive feature of this textbook is the integration of language skills and language elements in every chapter. Each unit incorporates the four core language skills—reading, speaking, listening, and writing—through contextualized texts, dialogues, audio-based tasks, guided role-plays, and scenario-based exercises. In addition, each chapter systematically develops language elements such as maritime-specific vocabulary, technical terminology, and grammar structures relevant to professional communication, including tenses, modal verbs, conditional sentences, passive voice, question tags, and cause–effect expressions.

By combining communicative competence with technical maritime content, this book serves as both a language development resource and a professional preparation tool. It is particularly suitable for maritime academies, training institutions, and onboard training programs aiming to enhance operational communication, safety awareness, and international standard compliance among future deck officers.
