As the maritime industry grows, grows the diversity of crews coming from all over the world. Accordingly, there is a need to standardize the exchange of information in the same language between the ship's crew, between the crew of one ship and the crew of another and the exchange of information between ship and shore. English has imposed itself as such and has become the main language of the maritime industry. Through the rich and exhaustively described Anglo - maritime history and with the extensive colonization of Great Britain, the jargons of the maritime English language are still used in everyday life of seafarers around the world. During the ordinary course of events, regulations are set regarding the use of English in maritime affairs, in such a way that daily actions on board are accompanied by standard maritime communication phrases (SMCP) so that the possibility of misunderstanding is avoided as much as possible. With the further development of special activities in maritime affairs, maritime English is used as a language for special purposes (English for Specific Purposes - ESP). A new branch in linguistics has been created that requires a new way of educating maritime English. Moreover, maritime English is divided according to different branches of the profession in the maritime industry, where maritime English for navigators is composed according to activities performed on the bridge and the phrases used in that type of communication. The maritime English used by ship engineers is in accordance with the construction and elements of the main engine and how the auxiliary machinery works. There is also a branch of maritime English used by staff on passenger ships and mainly related to communication between staff and guests.
