About Us
 The ships today are highly sophisticated and hence require a
highly skilled man power. Unfortunately, the seafarer training world wide
has been rather disorganized and of poor quality. To some extent, this has
improved with the advent of STCW 95.
This academy came into
existence in 1998 as a non-governmental, welfare project of the Western
Naval Command of Indian Navy. Hence we conduct the training commensurate
with the high standards of training in Indian Navy. It is because of this
attribute of assured high quality of training that we have been engaged by
reputed organizations/companies such as Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard,
Director General of Resettlement (Ministry of Defence), Indian Customs,
Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (Ministry of Petroleum), Oil and
Natural Gas Commission, MAERSK Offshore Dubai, Tanker Pacific and P &
O Cruises and many others to train their employees. We have been awarded
ISO 9001:2000 Certification by 'American Bureau of Shipping' and our STCW
- 95 courses are approved by the Director General of Shipping, Ministry of
Surface Transport, Govt. of India. Till date we have already trained more
than 30,000 seafarers.
The academy infrastructure
includes air-conditioned classrooms fitted with sophisticated training
aids like Simulators, Fire Fighting and Tanker Mockups, Fast rescue boats
& Ship Models.
 We have also pioneered the offshore safety training
in India. The training includes Helicopter Underwater Escape Training
(HUET). The Academy has a highly qualified and experienced faculty of 35
Master Mariners, Chief Engineers and Instructors. In addition, there is an
administrative staff of 10 personnel. Consultancy in designing and conduct
