tests seafarers' understanding of both written and spoken English.
The ISF Marlins English Language Test is an assessment tool, which tests seafarers' understanding of both written and spoken English.
Use of the ISF Marlins English Language Test allows ship operators to demonstrate that seafarers, of whatever nationality, have been assessed on their ability to communicate in English, a necessity that has been given additional emphasis by the ISM Code and the revised STCW Convention.
