This paper is part of an extensive research project on maritime language translation, which I consider to be a crucial but neglected area in translation studies, despite the maritime industry's significant relevance in today's world. It is essential to note that the maritime industry is vital to global trade and economic growth, providing employment opportunities worldwide and playing an increasingly important role in marine environmental protection. Although maritime activity generates a considerable amount of translation work, there is still a shortage of empirical research on the challenges of translating maritime genres, particularly with regards to terminology. This paper aims to address this gap by identifying the main difficulties encountered in translating maritime terminology and common errors that translators tend to make. It also draws useful comparisons between specialized texts written in English and their Romanian counterparts (and vice versa), highlighting the contrasts between the two languages and the impact of maritime terminology.
