SMCP (IMO phrases)

IMO Standard marine communication phrases (SMCP)

This application is intended for seafarers and those who study the sea English.

cMate-SMCP contains IMO phrases in four languages (English, Russian, Spanish, French)

As navigational and safety communications from ship to shore and vice versa, ship to ship , and on board ships must be precise, simple and unambiguous, so as to avoid confusion and error, there is a need to standardize the language used. This is of particular importance in the light of the increasing number of internationally trading vessels with crews speaking many different languages since problems of communication may cause misunderstandings leading to dangers to the vessel, the people on board and the environment.
