Deskripsi

In November 2001, the twenty-second Assembly adopted the IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) (resolution A.918(22)) and recommended a wide circulation to all prospective users and all maritime education authorities. The IMO SMCP replaced the “Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary” (SMNV) adopted by IMO in 1977 (and amended in 1985). The SMNV was developed for use by seafarers, following agreement that a common language – namely English – should be established for navigational purposes where language difficulties arise and the IMO SMCP has been developed as a more comprehensive standardized safety language, taking into account changing conditions in modern seafaring and covering all major safety-related verbal communication. The IMO SMCP includes phrases which have been developed to cover the most important safety-related fields of verbal shore-to-ship (and vice-versa), ship-to-ship and on-board communications. The aim is to get round the problem of language barriers at sea and avoid misunderstandings which can cause accidents.
