Abstract

This research explored the contribution of English language mastery to seafarers’ perceptions of green shipping technology. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the contribution of English mastery in promoting green shipping technologies and assess seafarers’ perceptions of English language mastery toward green shipping technologies. The researcher utilized a qualitative research approach; interviews and indirect observation were conducted with seafarers to assess perceived language barriers, career advancement opportunities, and the relationship between language skills and technological adoption. Thus, the results indicated that seafarers with higher English mastery comprehend green technologies better and have a more positive and satisfying attitude toward them. Conversely, those with limited English skills experience challenges in understanding technical details and effective communication, leading to reluctance to use new technologies. Furthermore, cultural factors and practical experience with green shipping technologies were delved into in this research with seafarers, suggesting the need for more targeted training combining technical knowledge and maritime English. This research concluded that enhancing English mastery is important for adopting or applying green shipping technologies, as it facilitates better understanding, career growth, and motivation among seafarers.
