The objective of this paper is to find out the linguistic features of maritime English and to investigate the approaches that the teachers and learners can follow. The present study also investigates the needs of the maritime students in order to develop good syllabi and the approaches of teaching. The present study finds that the language abilities that the maritime students mostly need are reading, writing and spoken English. The paper represents how the learners should learn maritime terminologies, read texts and comprehension and write responses to emails or letters. It also explains how the teachers should teach the required skills to the maritime students, how they (teachers) can develop communicative competence among the students, and the other factors they should consider while designing the syllabi and course contents of maritime English.
