Atlas Professionals’ Capelle aan den IJssel office in the Netherlands, has been awarded the status of a Marlins Approved Test Centre in accordance with minimum standards agreed by the United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
Clear communication
With the increasing regulations throughout the maritime industry, Marlins English testing has become a vital part of the employment process for international maritime crew. As mixed nationality crewing increases and with the STCW 2010 Manila Amendments, the need for English language skills is critical to safety and clear communication on board a vessel.
Marlins English testing
Marlins English language testing is designed to assess ability in communicating. With endorsements from the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA), ISF, oil majors and maritime employers worldwide. Companies integrate Marlins test into their global recruitment and training programmes to ensure a standardised approach to language competency assessment.
Only one in the Netherlands
In addition to Atlas Professionals Odesa and Riga offices, our Capelle aan de IJssel office has now also been approved as a Marlins Test Centre. The only commercially run test centre in The Netherlands that is able to test an individual’s competency on their English language ability in line with the rigorous standards of Marlins.
For Atlas Professionals it is very important that the professionals who we provide are competent in the work that they do. This also means they can communicate in good English.

We provide these tests for our own professionals, as well as any other maritime professional or ship owners who require their crew to have a Marlins English certificate.
