The interrelation between the higher education sector and the labour market should be more intensive and intertwined, not least because of the growing demands of professional profiles. Furthermore, the educational process and its designers have recently been challenged by the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions on the one hand and distance learning and technological opportunities on the other. The paper aims to present examples of coping with the various requirements of enhancing professional and language competencies in English for Maritime Purposes and meeting both the individual needs of the students and the demanding standards of the international seafaring market. In particular, we share our valuable experience as the liaison between the teachers of English for Specific Purposes, professionals from the maritime sector and experienced seafarers at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor. In that regard, we present the twinning activities conducted with the second and third-year students, which seek to prepare our future seafarers for both job interviews and the mandatory paperwork required by recruitment agencies for their first experience of signing on as a member of a ship’s crew
