of India, in 1948.
The College is housed in a
modern seven-storied building situated on six and half acre land at Hay Bunder,
Mumbai. The college building and its two adjacent hostel blocks overlook the
harbour of Mumbai.
In order to make appropriate
changes in the institutional frame work and financial arrangements for
imparting maritime training with the active participation of the Industry and
keeping in view the need to augment maritime training facilities, including
the feasibility and desirability of bringing the institutes under a university
type of structure, the Govt. of India in October 1991 set up a committee on
Maritime Education and Training (COMET). The committee in its Report
submitted in May 1992, recommended establishment of an autonomous Apex Body
named as Indian Maritime University to manage, control, supervise, direct and
monitor the Maritime Training Institutions functioning under the Government
control. The principal objective of the University would be to promote
excellence in Maritime Training & Research.
As a prelude to achieve the
above main objectives, Indian Institute of Maritime Studies (IIMS) has been
registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 on 6th

Public Trusts Act, 1950 on 15th January 2003 [Reg. No.
F-24905(Mumbai)]

Studies (IIMS) is the first step towards setting up of Indian Maritime

THE NORMS SET
BY IT FOR THE DISCHARGE OF ITS FUNCTION
The Competency and Modular
courses (Nautical and Engineering Discipline) run in this College as required
by the International Convention STCW 95 is gazetted by the Government of
India and assessment programme codified in the Maritime Education and Training
Assessment Manual Volume I and II.
Maritime Education, Training &
Assessment Manual Volume II is a sequel to Maritime Education, Training &
Assessment Manual Volume I. For the sake of ready reference, Merchant Shipping
(Standards of Training, Certification & Watch-keeping for Seafarers) Rules
1998 have been included in Maritime Education Training and Assessment Manual
Volume I. Further, the Chief Examiners of Masters and Mates and also Engineers
publish Merchant Shipping Notices from time to time on various aspects of
subjects covered by these publications. When these publications are read
together, they are expected to provide suitable guidance to aspiring
seafarers, serving seafarers on the high seas and candidates for certificates
of competency. They are also expected to enable maritime trainers and teachers
to plan course schedules and implement various syllabi and course contents.
These publications will also, hopefully, provide necessary material to ship
owners and ship managers in formulating floating manpower development
policies.
