Improved maritime communication

Miscommunication is a major trigger for maritime incidents. To counter language barriers in multilingual crews, the IMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) have been introduced. The Branch Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology of Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg presents a dialogue-oriented training system for SMCP based on automatic speech recognition. Research objective is to further improve ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication by integrating speech recognition in communication systems.
