Communication is an essential part of most joint activities, and effective means to identify and rectify misunderstandings are necessary to reach mutual understandings. In the maritime domain, faulty communication is often a contributing cause to ship accidents, potentially putting human lives, vessels, and the environment at risk. This study explores the use of other-initiated repair in maritime ship-to-ship communication. The purpose is to classify and analyse other-initiated repair and describe the specific practices used to initiate repair and rectify mistakes. Based on an analysis of authentic communication between vessels involved in icebreaker operations, findings indicate that other-initiated repair occurs less frequently in this corpus compared to other corpora of naturally occurring conversations. A possible reason is that radio communication, which is highly structured, has other means to identify communicative errors. More than half of the repair initiations use open requests to identify a trouble turn, and the most common repair solution is a full or partial repeat. Furthermore, maritime radio communication has an inherent slowness due to technical limitations that do not permit simultaneous talk. It is argued this refrains speakers from using long or complex messages, as the listener has no way to indicate trouble until next turn.

交流是大多数联合活动的重要组成部分，而有效的识别和纠正误解的手段对于达成相互理解是必要的。在海域，通讯不畅通常是导致船舶事故的诱因，有可能使人的生命，船只和环境面临危险。这项研究探索了在海上船对船通信中使用其他发起的维修。目的是对其他启动的维修进行分类和分析，并描述用于启动维修和纠正错误的特定做法。基于对参与破冰船操作的船只之间真实交流的分析，研究结果表明，与其他自然对话的语料库相比，该语料库中其他发起的修复发生的频率较低。可能的原因是，具有高度结构化的无线电通信具有其他方法来识别通信错误。一半以上的维修开始使用打开的请求来识别故障原因，而最常见的维修解决方案是全部或部分重复。此外，由于不允许同时通话的技术限制，海上无线电通信具有固有的慢度。有人认为这样做会限制说话者避免使用冗长或复杂的消息，因为听众无法在下一个回合之前指出问题所在。由于不允许同时通话的技术限制，海上无线电通信具有固有的缓慢性。有人认为这样做会限制说话者避免使用冗长或复杂的消息，因为听众无法在下一个回合之前指出问题所在。由于不允许同时通话的技术限制，海上无线电通信具有固有的缓慢性。有人认为这样做会限制说话者避免使用冗长或复杂的消息，因为听众无法在下一个回合之前指出问题所在。
