An interview with radio\nRomania international have been conducted by Constanta Maritime University.\nDetails of the interview is below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
—————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From numerous points of\nview, ships sailing the world seas and oceans can be compared to real Babel\ntowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People from different\nparts of the world work shoulder to shoulder, but sometimes serious problems\ncan arise, and they are, sadly enough, caused by … communication. And not\ninfrequently, this has been the cause of maritime accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to help solve\nthe problem, institutions from several states are working on the European\nproject called PraCMarEng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forty percent of global\nmaritime accidents are caused by human error. Specifically, communication\nrepresents a real problem, given the fact that, for eighty percent of the\nnavigators, English is not their mother tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting from this idea,\nan institution from France initiated the European project PraCMarEng, together\nwith partners from Turkey, Slovenia, Lithuania and Romania – through Constan\u0163a\nMaritime University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This involves the\ncreation of a free platform, where sailors will be able to learn maritime\nEnglish, including terms specific to each type of ship and each position held\nby seafarers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assoc. prof. Corina\nVarsami Ph.D., Project Coordinator for Romania:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The project was\ndeveloped within the Program of Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good\nPractices. This has been conceived following the axis for strategic\npartnerships for vocational education and training. We start the platform based\non SMCP (standard maritime communication phrases), which are imposed by IMO. On\nthe platform we intend to develop a practical approach to the SMCP. Users can\nbe trained according to the type of ship they operate or intend to operate on and\nstrictly related to the position they fill or will fill on board a certain type\nof ship. The idea came from the personal experience of one of the Turkish\npartners, who is a former seafarer and has encountered such problems on board\nships. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first action within\nthe project was to conduct a survey among the target group, to see what their\nneeds are, related to practical communication and most of the answers came from\nRomanian navigators, Corina Varsami says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The first step was to conduct a survey\non the target group to identify the training needs of seafarers in partner\ncountries. We are talking here about responses in the proportion of 63.3% from\nRomania. Identifying these training needs, we shall open the platform and at\nthis point, the project website is already available, where, if people are\ninterested, this survey can be completed online. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project\u2019s website is\nhttp:\/\/www.prac-mareng.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being an Erasmus + type\nproject, it also includes working meetings of the partners and given the\ncurrent epidemiological situation, they could not take place in real life. But\nthese meetings have moved to the online environment, being even more frequent\nthan originally planned, so the project goes further on unabated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We adapted very\nquickly. We decided to see each other monthly on Skype, to ensure the smooth\nrunning of the project.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The e-learning platform will be available to all navigators\nin the European Union. The deadline is the 31st of July 2021. The project is\nsupported by the French Erasmus + Agency and funded by the European Commission.\nThe total value is over 250 thousand Euros.\n\n\n\nThe link to interview is accessible in Romanian\nlanguage: https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rri.ro%2Fro_ro%2Fprac_mareng_solutii_la_problemele_de_comunicare_de_pe_nave-2622512%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3kzOF3_DF0DfOlaz_p98ZpDI-Bp76s1wChKk9OcAp3zfcN69suoyUoYSk%23.X0yqeqHXmgk.whatsapp&h=AT1FVfKGZIYp9SHyKT4Wrt_dyQWkQA-ukAhBhlXUetLqiIkBjZC6rvTPMpfBxG95f0G4McoHrJaRuV5gZDAOaXyic0p3WyQnZMKYDdU4z5QXBPpIAwmshg5w3Cpevkv9mQ&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT2xOyz9XYpVg8JNWFfHtkaFTaUWNWlPCeyP8t-4t9NdR73AS314pOT-JzYUi0sK9KH7V8HuhfL0FhdSRXArc_UxpAiF14DQGDj94cblaVIW1XBgNM0C9yZ-HeY6RLNGzXYYfdF8rqHiUC3ZAhGIAK76FLLNKnzfIyQir-5bTG7G1bcayPWJjGHbd62h8PHtIhKwF0L0k0_D9_Qb8i4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An interview with radio Romania international have been conducted by Constanta Maritime University.
