Message From Director

The Institute of Maritime Studies commenced its operations in the year 1997 with a one year Pre Sea Training Course for Graduate Mechanical Engineers, enrolling 25 candidates, self being the alumni of the inaugural Batch. The Institute of Maritime Studies is among the leading Maritime Training Institutes in India, focusing on producing highly employable Marine Engineers for the industry.

The institute’s two year pre sea training course significantly enhances the prospects of Diploma Engineers, enabling them to sail as Marine Engineers on par with those holding degree backgrounds.
A Marine Engineer must possess high competence, discipline, profound knowledge and the confidence to tackle new challenges. These qualities have been instilled in trainees since the institute’s inception. The exceptional caliber of our trainees over more than 25 years has consistently earned acclaim from shipping companies.

As the maritime industry evolves, so do the training needs of mariners and the expectations placed on marine engineers. Our institute is continuously upgrading its facilities to meet the industry’s changing demands. The invaluable support from esteemed shipping companies has been crucial in helping us stay current with industry requirements, enabling us to maintain the highest standards in training our engineers.

As ships become increasingly advanced, the demand for Marine Engineers with specialized electrical and electronic knowledge is growing. Our institute stays ahead by enhancing its facilities in automation, electrical and electronics, providing trainees with the essential foundation to excel in this field.
The institute provides trainees with access to ships, shipyards, marine workshops and equipment repair facilities, giving them firsthand industry experience. The institute prides itself on a quality conscious, experienced and proactive team that continually pursues new initiatives for ongoing improvement.

Many of our alumni have advanced in their careers and are now sailing as Chief Engineers. Many others have secured positions ashore in shipping related industries as ship owners/ managers, technical superintendents, marine surveyors and technical service providers. Some have embarked on second careers by diversifying into non shipping related fields.

We commend parents and students for selecting The Institute of Maritime Studies. For young individuals aspiring to become Marine Engineers in the Merchant Navy, we encourage you to explore our website at www.imsgoa.org or visit our institute to experience the training firsthand.
