The usage and evaluation of Maritime English in a maritime simulator environment may prove beneficial to training in the full mission bridge simulator, leading to potentially positive outcomes. This dissertation topic provides the chance to explore current practices regarding (Maritime) English and VHF communication in the simulator and offers recommendations about the 'twinning' of Martime English and simulator practice in the curriculum. Surveys conducted at Antwerp Maritime Academy, Belgium, and Aboa Mare in Turku, Finland, combined with observations in the simulator explore ideas about the use of Maritime English in simulator training.
