Although Maritime English is one of many topics in the industry, it’s worth engaging with associations to improve your English skills and get a deeper perspective into the sector.
One of the main associations is:
The International Maritime Lecturers Association (IMLA)
This is an important organisation within the maritime sector as it acts as a no-border forum; a round table for discussions on sea-related issues.
The IMLA was established in 1977 to promote contact and cooperation between maritime lecturers of all disciplines and to develop a body of professional expertise.
Its membership consists of teachers and other interested parties from all over the world who are dedicated to mediating in the process of maritime education and training.
