This paper studies how shipping forecasts are constructed and shaped. A pilot corpus of ten shipping forecasts issued by the Met Office, on behalf of the maritime and Coastguard Agency, and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 has been collected for this purpose and examined in terms of its rhetorical structure. Adopting a genre-centred approach and making use of Swales’s (1990) terminology, shipping forecasts are analysed and structured into a number of moves and steps. Findings are expected to help linguist researchers to gain knowledge of the textual organisation of shipping forecasts as a very particular type of oral discourse within the professions, and also, to provide maritime English teachers with genre-based tools that may contribute to enhance their teaching practices in maritime English classrooms.

The aim of this study is to make a comparison between the regulatory framework and actual common practice concerning the teaching and use of Maritime English. This comparison is directed at understanding the variables and identifying the issues that lead to the divergence between the two. Therefore, by relying on a custom-designed survey, this work investigates the way in which these issues interlink with the Italian Maritime English Teaching system and delves deeper into the perception that seafarers have of this matter.

The reason for modern Maritime Education and Training (MET) is to provide students with the necessary skills, and knowledge to be successful in the future outside of school. Futuristic teachers need to help students become life-long learners who are ready, organized, and equipped for new challenges. This paper tries to find position of Maritime English/IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (ME/ IMO SMCPs) versus autonomous ships, to facilitate developments in a safe predictable environment and for ensuring safe navigation
in the future, also in a mixed traffic situation where both manned and unmanned ships will be sailing on the same routes and ports. In its attempts, this paper tries to analyse the Obstacles and Disadvantages when no crew is required on board; this could jeopardize the statute of seafarers, and not every aspect of unmanned shipping is all roses. The work is much future oriented and requires challenging conventional concepts and operations.
