Abstract
English
This research aims is to analyze the challenges of using Maritime English by ship crews and its impact on safety at sea. Through a survey approach, data was obtained from a number of ship crews at ports, especially at Tanjung Perak Port, Surabaya. The results showed variations in the level of Maritime English competency among respondents, with a number of challenges faced, such as difficulties in daily communication, document translation, and interactions with port authorities. These challenges have serious implications for safety at sea, including increased risk of accidents, operational delays, and the inability to respond quickly and appropriately to emergency situations. These safety implications highlight the urgency to improve maritime English competency among ship crews through appropriate training and the development of effective communication strategies. By improving maritime English skills, it can be hoped that safety risks at sea can be significantly reduced. This research provides valuable insights for the shipping industry and authorities to improve communication practices and increase safety at sea.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tantangan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris maritim oleh awak kapal dan dampaknya terhadap keselamatan di laut. Melalui pendekatan survei, data diperoleh dari sejumlah awak kapal di pelabuhan-pelabuhan, terutama di Pelabuhan Tanjung Perak Surabaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan variasi dalam tingkat kompetensi Bahasa Inggris maritim di antara responden, dengan sejumlah tantangan yang dihadapi, seperti kesulitan dalam komunikasi sehari-hari, penerjemahan dokumen, dan interaksi dengan otoritas pelabuhan. Tantangan ini memiliki implikasi serius terhadap keselamatan di laut, termasuk peningkatan risiko kecelakaan, penundaan operasional, dan ketidakmampuan untuk merespon situasi darurat dengan cepat dan tepat. Implikasi keselamatan ini menyoroti urgensi untuk meningkatkan kompetensi Bahasa Inggris maritim di kalangan awak kapal melalui pelatihan yang sesuai dan pengembangan strategi komunikasi yang efektif. Dengan memperbaiki kemampuan Bahasa Inggris maritim, dapat diharapkan bahwa risiko keselamatan di laut dapat dikurangi secara signifikan. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan yang berharga bagi industri pelayaran dan pihak berwenang untuk memperbaiki praktik komunikasi dan meningkatkan keselamatan di laut. Kata kunci: Awak kapal,Bahasa Inggris Maritim, Keselamatan di Laut.
