TRANSCRIPT
INDIAN MARITIME UNIVERSITY (A Central University, Govt. of India)
India is traditionally a maritime nation and has a rich maritime heritage. History documents trade links of
India with other nations of the world from the ages of the Harappan civilization. Ports and Shipping form an
integral part of the maritime sector and contribute greatly to the economic growth of the country.
An Affiliating University
The Indian Maritime University, established through an Act of Parliament on 14/11/2008 as a Central University,
is poised to play a key role in the development of required Human Resources for the maritime sector. The
Indian Maritime University, being the first of its kind in the country will cater to the educational requirements
of the maritime fraternity. It is a teaching and affiliating University which will offer graduate, post graduate
and research programmes in all disciplines of the maritime sector.
Vision
To create a motivated competent Maritime community, strongly networked with and contributing to the
domestic and global maritime knowledge pool besides being committed to modifying domestic and global
Maritime organizational and policy concerns and issues through debate and research in which students, faculty,
society and the Government along with the Industry will participate.
Objectives
• Functional as a world class center of excellence for Maritime
studies.
• Act as the apex body for high level maritime education and research
nationally.
• Ensure conduct of quality post and pre sea courses in affiliated Maritime
institutions.
• Conduct professional development courses for Maritime
practitioners.
• Train a strong maritime community which can design and build quality ships competing with
traditional shipbuilders of other countries
• Network with other world class maritime institutions and contribute to the development of
National shipping industry.
1. B.Tech Marine Engineering
The role of the Marine Engineer:
The Marine Engineer was born the day the French Inventor Denis Papin constructed a Steam boat powered by
his steam engine in 1704. Since then, the Marine Engineer has come a long way. From steam to diesel engines
at the turn of the last century and now on to automated and computer controlled machinery and equipment.
Thus the role of the Marine Engineer is constantly changing with new challenges being regularly thrown up.
The Marine Engineer needs a probing mind and strong conceptual skills to keep up with the rapid
developments in Technology. With practically no outside assistance, he or she needs strong analytical skills
and the ability to work with the team in order to maintain and repair the machinery when the Ship is out at
Sea.
Reduced manning scales means social isolation in an atmosphere similar to a space craft and the modern
seafarer has to be conditioned to meet the demands this will make on his mental make up.
Sea life is arduous. The vagrant weather, the potential dangers of the working environment and the mental
and physical stresses all require a highly motivated and trained person on board. Not only an effective education
but also a grueling training is required to prepare a person for a career at Sea.
There is this picture of a big ship sailing on a calm ocean under a blue sky that is captioned “ If something goes
wrong here, you cannot walk home”. This effectively sums up the responsibility and the challenges that a
marine Engineer needs to take on, in his career at Sea.
Vision
Shipping is the most cost effective mode of transport and it is no wonder that 90% of the world’s cargo is
moved by ships.
We live in a world where our natural resources are diminishing and our Ecology is under threat. Technology is
advancing to meet the challenges.
A Nation looks to its manpower for development in the shipping industry, we need to turn to our Marine
Engineer who will, operate and maintain the ships of the future and to ensure that they will work with
success.
With the noble vision- “To make every Marine Engineer a success and no marine Engineer a failure”, The IMU
prepares young people to meet the future confidently.
Mission Statement:
• To provide for all round development of highly cultivated, motivated and complete Marine
Engineers of the future.
• To achieve excellence in maritime Education and Training in the country especially in the
current context with the impacts of globalization, new methodologies and new technologies.
• To provide an atmosphere where the trainee is inspired and challenged to engage himself or
herself into probing and appreciating role of the Human Element in Life in general and on ships in
particular.
