offshore
'offshore' and 'maritim' can both have to do with the sea. 'offshore' is used especially for facilities or work that are out at sea off the coast, for example wind farms or oil platforms. 'maritim' is more general and describes things that belong to, or are reminiscent of, the sea, seafaring, or the navy. The words can be confused because both appear in texts about the sea and the coast. If something is really at sea off the coast, 'offshore' fits. If it is generally about the sea, ships, or seafaring, 'maritim' sounds more natural.
