Message From Director

Education and training at the Institute of Maritime Studies (IMS) propels our
engineers to face new challenges, enhance self-confidence, inculcate discipline, and
have an all-round growth. IMS is one of the top Marine Engineering College in India.
The Institute of Maritime Studies commenced its Graduate Marine Engineering
Course of one year in 1997. The course started with 25 B.E Mechanical Engineers.
Special support was given by the various members of the Society who had
workshops, shipyards and transhippers which had marine machinery.

IMS blends technical up-gradation with professionalism and equips the engineers
with strategic communication skills, vital critical thinking ability, and a high sense of
responsibility. A Merchant Navy Marine Engineer has to be competent, disciplined in
all respects and with abundant of knowledge. IMS inculcates these attributes in
every aspect of training. The quality of the engineers who have passed out in the
last 25 years has been appreciated by the Shipping Companies.

The Institute is being upgraded keeping in mind the learning needs of the engineer
and the requirements of the onboard job as a marine engineer. The technical
support of our esteemed Shipping Companies assists us to achieve the highest
quality in our trained engineers. Many of the Engineers have reached the position of
Technical Superintendent and Chief Engineer. They are employed in shipping
company offices in India and abroad. As the ships are becoming modern, IMS too
involves itself in upgrading its facilities of Automation, Electrical and Electronics. The
marine engineering Diploma course of 2 years changes the life of a Diploma
Engineer. He when joining ship is considered equivalent to the Graduate Engineer.
There is a need for Electrical, Electrical and Electronics Engineers with adequate
knowledge to join as a marine engineer. They have the advantage of basic
knowledge in this area and can develop themselves to be very good marine
engineers. The opportunity is there, the advantage has to be taken.

IMS has a quality conscious, experienced, and proactive TEAM that keeps embarking
on fresher initiatives on the road of continual improvement. Anyone who is
interested in making as career as a merchant navy marine engineer has to visit our
website www.imsgoa.org. I appreciate the decision of the parents and students in
choosing IMS.

We aim to unlock their immense potential and offer our warm wishes for them to
surge ahead in their career and lead a fulfilling life.
