This paper looks at the communication difficulties faced by seafarers and the roles that English teachers can play to eradicate these communication deficiencies. The study finds that although English is an international maritime language, the mariners are yet to learn the skills of English efficiently. Over the years many accidents have occurred due to communication gaps or misunderstood communications. As mariners are trained before they go to the sea, the English teachers can do a lot to help them learn the language efficiently. By using new innovative methods and techniques, the maritime English teachers can produce fluent mariners who can encode and decode messages accurately.
