I don’t know who this guy is , but he is no ship’s Captain.

He says the ship is tilting.Any ship officer would say “listing”.
Maybe his Mama owns the ship.

Another thing he say’s his second officer is there with him. What’s he doing there? He is as bad as the Captain.

There may be a language issue here, rather than a vocabulary issue. Even if he uses English for emergency communications, it's likely that he uses Italian for ordinary discussions of ship performance. "Tilting" may be a case of not knowing the English word for a nautical concept that he probably would have described correctly in his native language.
