Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary

incorporating all amendments adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee up to and including its fifty-first session (May 1985)

INTRODUCTION This vocabulary has been compiled: to assist in the greater safety of navigation and of the conduct of ships. to standardize the language used in communication for navigation at sea, in port-approaches,in waterways and harbours.

These phrases are not intended to supplant or contradict the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea or special local Rules or Recommendations made by IM0 concerning ships’ routeing. Neither are they intended to supersede the International Code of Signals and the Radio Regulations nor to supplant normal radiotelephone practice as set out in the ITURegulations. It is not intended that use of the vocabulary shall be mandatory, but rather through constant repetition in ships and in training establishments ashore, that the phrases and terms used will become those normally accepted and commonplace among seamen. Use of the contents of the vocabulary should be made as often as possible in preference to other wording of similar meaning. In this wayit is intended to become an acceptable “language” for the interchange of intelligence between individuals of all maritime nations on the many and varied occasions when precise meanings and translations are in doubt, increasingly evident under modern conditions at sea. The typographical conventions used throughout most of this vocabulary are as follows: () brackets indicate that the part of themessage enclosed within the brackets may be added where it is relevant. oblique stroke indicates that the items on either side of the stroke are alternatives. dots indicate that the relevant information is to be filled in where the dots occur.
