Routine maritime communication at higher education institutions along the Eastern Adriatic Sea

Jurkovič, Violeta (author)

Routine maritime communication refers to the regular and standardised intership and ship-shore exchange of information, crucial for ensuring safe and efficient navigation. Most professionals involved in this communication receive education and training in maritime studies from higher education institutions before beginning their professional careers. Previous research showed that the use of simulations and digital technologies may prepare students better for the complexities of maritime communication and ensure better communication practices in real-life situations. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the role and teaching of routine maritime communication at higher education institutions along the Eastern Adriatic Sea. Data for this study were collected through the analysis of Maritime English course syllabi at six higher education maritime institutions, and semi-structured interviews with their Maritime English teachers. The findings indicate several differences regarding the role of Maritime English and the role and teaching of routine maritime communication. Notably, the need for greater cooperation and availability of digital tools emerged as significant needs among the interviewed Maritime English teachers in the examined geographical context.
