Safe Sailing prepares sailors for communicating safely at sea by providing thorough practice of the International Maritime Organisation's Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP). This standardised set of English phrases is essential to overcoming language barriers at sea and avoiding misunderstandings which can cause accidents. 
Through a variety of interactive exercises, this CD-ROM gives seafarers the practice they need to use these phrases confidently and effectively. It covers areas such as Standard engine orders, Handing over the watch, Fire protection, and Cargo care. 
As well as providing model audio of each phrase, users can also record and play back their own voice, helping them to improve their spoken delivery. 
Safe Sailing enables users to monitor their own progress with regular, ready-made tests, and also allows them to focus on their particular needs by creating their own lessons.
For extra support, the CD-ROM includes definitions of key words in English, plus translations of these key words into Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
Ideal for self-study, Safe Sailing is perfect for use both on land and for onboard training and comes with a guide to help users get the most out of using the CD-ROM.
Safe Sailing covers all the SMCP requirements of the GOC exam (General Operators Certificate), making it the ideal companion for those preparing for this qualification.
