Designed primarily for radio conversations—especially over VHF—it covers critical topics such as distress calls (Mayday, Pan-Pan, Securité), navigation, docking, emergency procedures, and general radiotelephony protocols. The manual includes a glossary of key maritime terms and uses controlled natural language to ensure clarity and global comprehension. This reference is intended for seafarers, ship officers, radio operators, and maritime students. Before the introduction of the IMO’s Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) in 2001, Seaspeak served as the primary communication standard in maritime training. It remains a valuable tool for onboard use and maritime English instruction.
