4、r permission in writingfrom the International Maritime Organization.ForewordAs navigational and safety communications from ship-to-shore and vice versa,from ship-to-ship, and on board ship must be precise, simple and unambiguousso as to avoid confusion and error, there is a need to standardize the l
5、anguageused. This is of particular importance in the light of the increasing number ofinternationally trading vessels with crews speaking many different languages,since problems of communication may cause misunderstandings leading todangers to the vessel, the people on board and the environment.In 1
6、973, the Maritime Safety Committee agreed, at its twenty-seventh session,that where language difficulties arise a common language should be used fornavigational purposes, and that language should be English. In consequencethe Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary (SMNV) was developed,adopted in 19
7、77 and amended in 1985.In 1992, the Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixtieth session, instructed theSub-Committee on Safety of Navigation to develop a more comprehensivestandardized safety language than SMNV 1985, taking into account thechanging conditions in modern seafaring and covering all majo
8、r safety-relatedverbal communications.At its sixty-eighth session in 1997, the Maritime Safety Committee adopted theDraft IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) developed by theSub-Committee on Safety of Navigation. The draft IMO SMCP, followinginternational trials, was amended at the fort
9、y-sixth session of this Sub-Committee, and was given final consideration by the Maritime SafetyCommittee at its seventy-fourth session in the light of remarks received bythe Organization. The IMO SMCP was adopted by the Assembly in November2001 as resolution A.918(22).Under the International Convent
10、ion on Standards of Training, Certification andWatchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as revised 1995, the ability to use andunderstand the IMO SMCP is required for the certification of officers in chargeof a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more.iii.ContentsPageINTRODUCTION1Positionof

39、nication PhrasesxiiIMO Standard Marine Communication PhrasesINTRODUCTION*1 Position of the IMO SMCP in maritime practiceThe IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) has beencompiled: to assist in the greater safety of navigation and of the conduct of theship, to standardize the language used
40、 in communication for navigation atsea, in port approaches, waterways and harbours, and on boardvessels with multilingual crews, and to assist maritime training institutions in meeting the objectivesmentioned above.These phrases are not intended to supplant or contradict the InternationalRegulations
41、 for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 or special local rules orrecommendations made by IMO concerning ships routeing, neither are theyintended to supersede the International Code of Signals, and their use in shipsexternal communications has to be in strict compliance with the relevantradiotelephon
42、e procedures as set out in the ITU Radio Regulations.Furthermore, the IMO SMCP, as a collection of individual phrases, shouldnot be regarded as any kind of technical manual providing operationalinstructions.The IMO SMCP meets the requirements of the STCW Convention, 1978, asrevised, and of the SOLAS
43、 Convention, 1974, as revised, regarding verbalcommunications; moreover, the phrases cover the relevant communicationsafety aspects laid down in these Conventions.Use of the IMO SMCP should be made as often as possible in preference toother wording of similar meaning; as a minimum requirement, users
44、 shouldadhere as closely as possible to them in relevant situations. In this way they areintended to become an acceptable safety language, using English for the verbalinterchange of intelligence among individuals of all maritime nations on themany and varied occasions when precise meanings and trans
45、lations are indoubt, as is increasingly evident under modern conditions at sea.An accompanying CDis designed to familiarize users with the pronunciationof the phrases.* The phrases are annex 1 of resolution A.918(22) (see page 116).It is expected that this will be available towards the middle of 200
46、3.12 Organization of the IMO SMCPThe IMO SMCP is divided into External Communication Phrases and On-boardCommunication Phrases as far as its application is concerned, and into part Aand part B as to its status within the framework of STCW 1978, as revised.Part A covers phrases applicable in external
47、 communications, and may beregarded as the replacement of the Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary1985, which is required to be used and understood under the STCW Code,1995, table A-II/1. This part is enriched by essential phrases concerning shiphandling and safety of navigation to be used in on-
48、board communications,particularly when the pilot is on the bridge, as required by regulation 14(4),chapter V, SOLAS 1974, as revised.Part B calls attention to other on-board standard safety-related phrases which,supplementary to part A, may also be regarded as useful for maritime Englishinstruction.
49、3 Position of the IMO SMCP in maritime education and trainingThe IMO SMCP is not intended to provide a comprehensive maritime Englishsyllabus, which is expected to cover a far wider range of language skills to beachieved in the fields of vocabulary, grammar, discourse abilities, etc. than theIMO SMCP could ever manage. However, part A in particular should be anindispensable part of any curriculum which is designed to meet thecorresponding requirements of the STCW Convention 1978, as revised. Inaddition, part B offers a rich choice of situations covered by phrases well suitedto mee
