The International Maritime English Conference is a no-border forum: a round table for discussions on sea-related communication problems concerning the universal IMO imposed language SMCP and other Maritime English issues. At IMEC conferences lecturers and other parties from all over the world dedicated to improve the communication skills and competences of seafarers are invited to present their papers and workshops, share experiences and exchange ideas. Maritime Institute Willem Barentsz herewith presents you the conference proceedings containing all the papers presented and workshops held at IMEC-26. IMEC-26 brings together professionals from the maritime and academic field from 24 countries & regions including Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom. IMEC’s annual conferences offer a great opportunity for Maritime English lecturers from all over the world to get together, discuss matters and exchange views. These Proceedings contain some 20 papers and workshops that cover all kinds of Maritime English related issues. The new STCW and IMO’s revised model course 3.17 in the centre of it. IMEC-26’s Local Organising Committee we would like to thank all members of the IMEC Steering Group and the IMEC Papers committee for the effort they (again) have put into this conference. We also like to acknowledge MIWB’s educational service bureau and student helpers for their aid in promoting and assisting with the organisation of this Conference. We hope that you enjoy the Conference and your time on our island. When something has worked out well islanders take their leave by saying: ‘We should do this again someday ….’ On behalf of MIWB’s IMEC-26 Local Organising Committee Wim van Leunen Disclaimer: The publishers are not responsible for the professional claims made in the texts of the papers or workshops herein contained or for any objections related to grammar or style.

In recent years, IMLA has strived more than ever to be active on the IMO stage, and I’m pleased that some very positive steps have been taken by the Association to engage in IMO related activities. Among many others, IMLA was honoured by the IMO to carry out the revision of IMO Model Course 3.17 Maritime English, for which the IMEC Subcommittee’s expertise has been playing a central role. The many essential tasks within that demanding project will be one of the main issues to be discussed at the IMEC26. I trust the conference will mark a key milestone in the course of accomplishing the project. The Steering Committee of IMEC is such a strong and passionate team, with many of the members working voluntarily for decades, out of their enthusiasm and devotion for developing a platform for world Maritime English teachers. Your efforts have reminded us our missions and commitments – to provide better opportunities of academic, educational and cultural exchanges within the global maritime educational community. As the Honorary Chair of IMLA, I am very proud to serve a lively and active Subcommittee like IMEC. Taking this chance, I would like to express deep appreciations to the whole Steering Committee and in particular, Prof. Dr. Peter Trenkner, in steering IMEC so successfully for all these years. I hope all participants will make full use of the conference to interact with each other, in theory and practice, on an international level, and bringing together the professional knowledge, scientific consciousness, and social commitment to work on problems and issues relevant to the future Maritime English education. I believe this conference will be thought provoking in many ways. Last but not least, I would also like to thank the local organizing committee from the Maritime Institute Willem Barentzs who has worked very hard in making this event possible. I wish you all the best for a stimulating and rewarding conference. Thank you!
