FAQ

Everything about the Marlins Test and cruise ship careers

FAQ - 27 Questions

The Marlins Test is an internationally standardized English proficiency exam for seafarers. It is used by cruise and cargo shipping companies worldwide such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and MSC to assess whether crew members can communicate in English in maritime situations.

The Marlins Test has 5 main sections: 1) Listening - listen to conversations and choose answers, 2) Grammar - English grammar, 3) Vocabulary - maritime vocabulary, 4) Reading - reading comprehension, 5) Time & Numbers - listen to numbers, times, and dates.

The Marlins Test has no universal pass mark — each company sets its own: around 70%+ for most cruise lines, around 80%+ for premium lines (Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival), and around 60–70% for cargo. Our practice target is 80%, which gives you a safe margin for any company.

You can take it at authorized Marlins test centers, or some companies arrange the test themselves. There are several test centers in Thailand. We recommend practicing with 360Marlins before taking the actual test.

It can be challenging without preparation due to specialized maritime vocabulary not used in everyday life. However, with 360Marlins' large question pool covering every Section and Thai-language explanations, you can pass without difficulty.

360Marlins is a complete guide and advisor for anyone interested in working on ships. It covers career information, Marlins Test practice, document guides, and school/manning agency comparisons — all in one place.

We have a large question pool covering every Section that appears on the real exam, for Cruise, Cargo and Offshore. New questions are added monthly. The real exam has 60 questions, but we offer many times more for practice. The more you practice, the higher your chance of encountering similar questions on the real test.

We design our questions to closely match the real exam in format, difficulty level, and content, based on real exam references and IMO standards, covering every section that appears on the test.

There are 2 modes: 1) Practice Mode - practice by section with instant answers and detailed explanations, 2) Exam Mode - real exam simulation with 60 questions in 60 minutes, with a score-by-skill breakdown and full answer review afterward.

There are 2 plans, both one-time payments with no monthly charges: 1) Marlins Test Pass — ฿999 for 6 months: all questions + Career Center + documentation guides. 2) Marlins Lifetime — never expires: everything in the Pass + 4 exam-prep ebooks + free question updates forever. See the current Lifetime price at the top of this page.

It depends on the plan. The Pass lasts 6 months from the day you pay, and nothing renews or charges automatically. To keep going, buy another Pass (if you buy before it expires, the new 6 months start from your old end date, so you lose no days) or switch to Lifetime anytime. Lifetime is a one-time payment that never expires, including new questions added in the future. No additional payment required.

Yes! We have over 1,400 Listening questions with high-quality audio files. Practice with conversations, numbers listening, and image selection from audio.

After completing Exam Mode you'll see a score-by-skill breakdown, the weak areas to work on, and a full answer review — all saved to your history so you can track progress. Note that on-site scores are practice results, not an official Marlins certificate, which comes only from an authorized test centre.

You need to pass the Marlins Test (English), get an STCW Certificate (maritime safety), complete an ENG1 medical exam, and obtain a C1D visa (for US-bound ships) or Schengen visa (for European ships). 360Marlins has guides for every step.

It depends on the position. For example: Cabin Steward $1,500-2,500/month, Waiter $2,000-3,500/month, Bartender $2,000-3,500/month, Chef $3,000-5,000/month. This doesn't include tips, which can add $500-2,000/month.

Yes! Many positions accept applicants without experience, such as Cabin Steward, Housekeeping, and Kitchen Helper. However, you must pass the Marlins Test and have an STCW Certificate.

STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) is a mandatory maritime safety certificate that everyone needs. Training is available at centers certified by the Marine Department. 360Marlins has a list of 15 training centers throughout Thailand with estimated costs.

C1D is a crew visa for entering the United States, required for ships calling at US ports. 360Marlins has a detailed step-by-step visa guide, from filling out the DS-160 to the embassy interview.
