IMTC has joined hands with Marlins of UK to help employers determine the language competency of a seafarer quickly and at a reasonable cost.

The test assesses listening, general comprehension and practical skills. The company concerned can set pass/fail standard. This test has been developed by ISF (International Shipping Federation) and Marlins (UK).
