There are 3,000 to 6,000 languages in the world, not to mention various codes of signals. When I visited the Evergreen Maritime Museum yesterday morning, I was amazed at the colorful signal flags for the ships to communicate with each other at sea.The system of international maritime signal flags is one system of flag signals representing individual letters of the alphabet in signals to or from ships. It is a component of the International Code of Signals (INTERCO).
The Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) is a set of key phrases in the English language, supported by the international community for use at sea and developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). They aim to explain: 1) external communication phrases – ship to ship & ship to shore communication, 2) onboard communication phrases – communication within the ship.
