The maritime industry faces ongoing safety challenges due to linguistic barriers among multicultural crews. To address these issues, the International Maritime Organization developed Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP), to help ensure clarity and uniformity. However, limitations in language proficiency persist, emphasizing the need for technological solutions. This paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) in maritime safety, focusing on real-time translation, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and AI-driven training simulations. These technological solutions bridge language gaps, improve efficiency, and support competency development. The paper also highlights the role of cybersecurity in protecting linguistic data and ensuring smooth communication. While these technological innovations offer good solutions, challenges such as implementation costs and offline functionality must be addressed. Ultimately, the integration of smart systems and linguistic solutions is essential for improving maritime safety and global collaboration.
