Indian Maritime University (IMU) was inaugurated on December 31, at Chennai. IMU is the first central university to be set up by the Department of Shipping through an Act of Parliament. The Act was notified in the Government of India’s Gazette on November 11, 2008. IMU is bound to improve the quality of marine training further, to help Indian seafarers to compete globally and to increase from about 6% representation in the worldwide seafarers.
Maritime education was so far under the control of the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS), India through the Indian Institute of Maritime Studies (IIMS). The Institutes under IIMS are:
- T.S. Chanakya, Navi Mumbai.
- Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies and Research, Mumbai.
- Marine Engineering and Research Institute (MERI), Mumbai.
- Marine Engineering and Research Institute (MERI), Kolkata.
In addition
- National Maritime Academy (erstwhile National Institute of Port Management) is at Chennai under the Ministry of Shipping, Government of India.
- National Ship Design and Research Center (NSDRC) is at Visakhapatnam under the Ministry of Shipping, Government of India.
- The Indian Institute of Ports Management (IIPM) at Kolkata.
Further there are around 120 private marine training institutes, approved by DGS and spread over India.
All the above institutes are going to be under the control of IMU and some of the interesting features of IMU are:
- To be set up like the World Maritime University (WMU) in Malmo, Sweden. WMU was established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1983.
- Being set up over an area of around 106 acres at Semmancherry (Chemmancherry), East Coast Road, south of Chennai at a cost of Rs 245 crore.
- The university will have regional centres in Mumbai, Kolkata and Visakhapatnam.
- The National Maritime Academy at Chennai; LBS College, Marine Engineering & Research Institute (MERI) and T.S. Chanakya at Mumbai; the MERI and Indian Institute of Ports Management at Kolkata; and the National Ship Design and Research Centre at Visakhapatnam will be merged with IMU.
- IMU has tied up with
- Dalian Maritime University, China for MBA in Port Management.
- Shanghai Maritime University, China and Institute of Transport and Maritime Management Antwerp (ITMMA) of University of Antwerp, Netherlands for MBA in International Transportation and Logistics Management.
- International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) of University of Malta for degree in Maritime Law. IMLI was established by IMO in 1988.
- Delft University of Technology, Netherlands for degree course in Dredging from the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology (M&TT).
- IMU has tied up with IIM, Ahmedabad, for a one-year fast-track executive MBA in Maritime Management and with IIM, Bangalore, for a Certificate Course in Management for senior seafaring officers.
- The courses are expected to commence from June 2009 and the fully set up university will have around 1,000 students in various courses.
- Private maritime training institutes will now be under the control of IMU.
- P. Vijayan, Director, National Maritime Academy in Chennai, has been appointed as the first Vice-Chancellor of the IMU.
- To have initially eight departments, including port management, nautical science, maritime law and inland water transport. Under these departments, degree, postgraduate degrees and research programmes will be offered by the university.
In addition, a National Maritime Complex (NMC) in 194 acres is also being planned near IMU at a an approximate cost of around Rs.800 crores to Rs.1,000 crores. NMC will have a maritime art gallery, maritime museum, marine aquarium and marine food court and other related activities of the maritime industry.
It seems that IMU is yet to come out with its own website. National Maritime Academy website may be converted to IMU website.
Here is the Gazette of India, Extraordinary No 22 of 2008 dated November 11, 2008: The Indian Maritime University Act, 2008.

The Union Minister for Shipping, Shri G.K. Vasan released the results of the First All India Entrance Examination of the Indian Maritime University, in Chennai on June 27, 2009. The examination was conducted on June 21. Here is a photograph from Press Information Bureau.
Results and Counseling schedule are available at Indian Maritime University.
Update: July 09
The IMU vice chancellor P Vijayan has declared that institutions that have illegally collaborated with some deemed universities will not be granted affiliation to the IMU on a piecemeal basis. He further said that presently 41 maritime colleges including 15 in Tamil Nadu are affiliated to IMU. There are 125 maritime institutions in the country but some have been allowed to retain their affiliation with the respective state universities for this year alone for operational convenience.

The news report: Univs fight over maritime rights, students at sea from Chennai edition of The Times of India dated July 11 is given below:
The tug of war between Anna University and the Indian Maritime University (IMU) over the affiliation of the BE Marine Engineering course offered by five self-financing engineering colleges could put the future of some students at stake.
On Friday, when the single window counselling for Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions began, state principal secretary for higher education K Ganesan sought to know from admission authorities why the BE Marine Engineering course was not included in the list. When he was informed that the colleges had secured affiliation for the course from the IMU, Ganesan argued that the Central university had no powers or jurisdiction to grant affiliation to engineering colleges in the state. Also, colleges cannot affiliate one course with the IMU and the remaining courses with Anna University.
He immediately asked Anna University (Chennai) registrar S Shanmugavel to inform the colleges concerned that they would lose their affiliation with the university if they did not sever their academic relationship with the IMU. This stand is bound to affect students who have already been admitted into BE Marine Engineering courses in five colleges through the counselling conducted by the IMU over the past three days.
IMU vice-chancellor P Vijayan told TOI, “As per the Central Universities Act, we are fully empowered to affiliate colleges offering maritime education.” He said in April, when the engineering colleges approached him for affiliation, he wrote to vicechancellors of all the four Anna Universities seeking their views. “I did not receive any reply after which I wrote to the commissioner for technical education. He responded saying that the registrars of the respective Anna Universities will take a decision on this,” Vijayan said.
Update: July 14
As Indian Maritime University is operational, it is logical that all marine related courses so far offered by different universities should come under the purview of IMU. In Tamil Nadu, Anna University is not understanding this. The students are unnecessarily facing hardship.

While there are enough deficiencies and defects in the prevailing system and the existing infrastructure should we as a nation hurry to go in for INDIAN MARITIME UNIVERSITY, while already deemed universities sprang up in the commercial angle.
Please read current editorial given below, and previous editorials in http://www.themarinewaves.com
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK. February 2009 http://www.themarinewaves.com
It’s high time, ” we realize our resources, introduce appropriate policies.” All that we require is a shared vision of what is today, in the international maritime scenario and what best we could do to leap ahead successfully, with scientifically backed–up policies and needed support of the realized geniuses. Why should we accept the continuance of deficiencies and defects in the system, without corrective remedial action, neglecting the valid feedbacks? E.g. CDC scam, failure of introduced INDoS 8 years ago – the important database of Indian seafarers (said in my editorial Jan.2009) etc.
Critically appraising the existing system of policies and procedures in our national maritime administration, mariners inducted are not committed, sincerely, seriously nor efficiently, though they are well placed in shore-employment, attached to higher echelons of society, although with their poor academic background, risen with trade apprenticeship background, with C O C (Certificate of Competency) which is exclusively for operation and management of ships. It is unfair and unreasonable for shore-based mariners to compare the salary of active seafarers out at sea on ships article, who are living with high risks and sacrifices.
Distraction caused to mariners on shore-based jobs, by unfairly viewing and comparing salary earned by seafarers on ship’s article, with high risks and sacrifices. Hence, there is no transparency but for built in loopholes, to make their own end. Only those who have a sincere vision with a burning desire to excel can go about steadfastly. Information and communication technology had definitely encouraged us all and made things easy for the right thinking personnel, towards research and development.
Considering safety and health of seafarers, as a primary welfare measure, the challenge to policymakers is to ensure, instilling fair and best practices, in policy and procedures. While merchant navy is the second line of defence, earning foreign-exchange to the country. It should be a common concern for national maritime administrations (DGS) and both INSA (Indian National Ship-owners Association) and the relevant officers and rating unions. As said in my earlier issues of the prevailing UNFAIR Pay-scales, in the name of non-promotional categories, while during the same time period, a floating staff engineer thrown out of service, like a fish out of water, from a government of India enterprise (SCI), this injustice for no fault of his, but for his medical disability, blood-pressure (H.T.), in 1994, was neither awarded the due medical disability compensation nor VRS nor a fair final settlement of accounts till to date, since he was a whistle-blower. It should have caught the eyes of the shipping administration, home ministry and department of administrative reforms. Where is fairness and justice to the citizen of India, unless a person is influenced?
News of Fake CDC’s (Continuous Discharge Certificate), in the Bombay open market is not new to the old timers in shipping, this has been happening. CDC, being an identification and a mandatory document, for a seaman to sail. It is issued by the Shipping Ministry through the Directorate-General of Shipping, to those who have cleared the pre-sea and STCW course examinations from an authorized institution of the directorate general shipping. Bombay- Police have always been efficient to track fake CDC’s, from 1980’s in the open market, as far as I know, hence now and then fake CDC’s are on the news, particularly surrounding the “Jahaz Bhavan” at Walchand Hirachand Marg, wherein housed the office of the DGS (directorate general of shipping), e.g. opposite GPO, where the off the shelves STCW Course certificates and CDC’s were made available for a price, primarily for those seeking employment in gulf countries. Seamen with a CDC and a passport, along with an official letter from the shipping company, can travel abroad or enter the country without a visa. Although the forged CDCs, were largely being used by unqualified men to secure jobs on ships, the fact that it also allows entry and exit without a visa, has now set alarm bells ringing at national security angle, owing to the wide spread terrorists known these days. It is therefore high time, cross reference to entry of CDC, INDOS and passport numbers of seafarers are documented, for affective control of seafarer’s movement in and out of the country, also to arriving at realistic statistical figures of Indian sailors leaving and returning back to their country. It would also curtail illegal entry of intruders into our country and also restrict criminals from fleeing from our country, restrict the fake CDCs as well. Hence, it is high time CDC norms are tightened, in our national and international interest, since it is taken in a lighter vein by our national shipping administration, for over almost three long decades of this subjective exposure, without corrective or remedial measures. * view old subjective press releases, in this issue.
Besides, Why? this free issue of CDC, to those who just undergo short-term course in the name of GMDSS, a course without much publicity? Is it, to please a section of the society who are influenced and not meeting the pre-requisites of normal entry requirement? This is another loophole for securing CDC and taking placement in other trades. Why should this category be exempted from Pre-Sea training? Is this for an inborn sea-training category of personnel? Furthermore, our Shipping Directorate declaring 1500 CDC’s been issued during the year 2005-2007, under the category of “Purser” which explicit corruption within, since the figure is unrealistic, while this category is restricted to passenger vessels while in India, hardly few passenger vessels engaged in A&N. and lakshadweep islands All this corruption with connivance of those within MMD. It is surprising, that a 3 year diploma from the State Board of Technical Education is not considered for entry into GMDSS Course while 10 + 2 is considered. As a matter of fact, Diploma – EEE, should have been considered much superior than 10+2, for GMDSS course particularly while pursuing for higher technical studies. Failing to consider such candidates for GMDSS admission is a grave injustice. Security measures have not been taken into consideration, considering reference co-relating local ration-card, local police verification, passport etc. “Marine Waves” emphasizes “Seafarers to be groomed very well during training period ” to carry the good image of our nation, overseas.

As of 31st May 2009, Teaching Faculty may work, on daily wages -if agreeable, (not with standing SACK LETTER issued around 30th April 2009)as visiting faculty, till
IMU Authority under Ministry of Shipping decides on the
matter.
Non-teaching faculty is sacked effective 31st May 2009-as heard from reliable sources. They have been advised to come and collect their dues in a week or two
Write ups in MAREX give a very gloomy picture, but it appears to be realistic.
Demise of Marine Technical Teaching Institutes, like MERI, DMET, post-sea LBS CAMSAR
appears to be sooner than later.
Younger generation may have to go to foreign shores to get requisite Certificates of Competency (COC), as was done about 50 years (half a Century) back.

Dear Sir,
It is known that Indian Maritime University (IMU) has been setup under an Act of Govt of India. Among other functions, one of its objectives is to conduct various courses related to Maritime field though its own teaching departments or through its affiliated institutions. In this regard, pl guide whether other universities in India like BITS, Pilani is still authorized to offer degree courses like BS (Nautical Technology) and BS (Maritime Engg) to the students directly or through its affiliated private institutions like Tolani Maritime Institute, Induri (Pune) when the central University status has already been given to IMU.
Pl also advise whether such a degree allotted by other universities will be valid for seeking jobs with various shipping companies in India and abraod. Pl advise urgently. I shall be thankful.

I’m a mechanical engineering graduate and i would like to join IMU for 1 year GME course. I would like to know the eligibility criteria (marks or percentage in degree level) and would like to know syllabus for entrance examinations for induction into IMU.
hi..i had written this imu examination 2009…my
rank here is a.i.r 4 .i had attended the councelling today (8th july)…to my disappointment half of the colleges affliated to imu here are not even listing for selection…..i had gone wid a surety of getting meri bombay or culcutta but these colleges have already filled up their seats prier to the councelling..
what i dont understant is that if IMU is an university and all these meri colleges come under them why the heck don’t they have seats reserved in them for imu students?????this the case with many other colleges too…this shows the sad plight of the imu governance…
and hari bout ur doubt …i came out of the councelling hall by 6 pm…u run a poor chance in getting chanakya, and shipping coorporation mumbai but u can try imu chennai and toolani for nautical science…..
best o luck

2009Recent Pirate Attacks in the Arabian Sea – the Extension of the Threat
IML Commentary, Idarat Maritime, Indian Ocean, Insurance, Pirate Organizations & Methods, Recent News No Responses » Late on the 21st December the 147,467 dwt Indian-flagged oil tanker, M T Maharaja Agrasen, en route from Min Al Ahmadi in Kuwait to Visakhapatnam in India, laden with over 950,000 barrels of oil worth about $75 million, reported a pirate attack in the Arabian Sea. The reported attack was by three unlit pirate boats about 366 nautical miles west of Ratnagiri on the west coast of India, at 17 degrees 11 mins. north and 66 degrees 05 mins. east. Later reports say that the three boats attacked the Maharaja Agrasen with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The National Union of Seafarers of India General Secretary Abdulgani Y Serang told the Press Trust of India that the Master tried ram one of the pirate boats.
The Indian Directorate General of Shipping was contacted by the vessel’s owners and alerted the Indian Coast Guard and Indian Navy. The Indian authorities remained in contact with the Master and the owners, and were informed that the pirates had not been able to board the vessel because of the evasive manoeuvres undertaken by the Master. The owners ordered the vessel to head directly for the Indian Coast. By 0025 hours on the 22nd December, the nearest pirate boat was about 4 nautical miles from the vessel and by 0247 hours, four hours after the alarm was raised, the authorities were informed that no boat was following the vessel. No injury or damage was been reported and the Maharaja Agrasen proceeded to Visakhapatnam. Neither UKMTO, nor MSC HOA, reacted to this attack, largely, we believe, because it occurred in what they regard as a safe area.
It is now clear that this was a genuine attack. It is important to remember that on the 1st December the Greek oil tanker, the MV Sikinos, was attacked approximately 345 nautical miles south west of the position of the attack on the Maharaja Agrasen and another vessel was attacked on the 5th December approximately 640 nautical miles SSW. On the 30th December a Kuwait oil tanker was attacked at virtually the same position as the earlier attack on the Sikinos, about 650 nautical miles west of the Indian coast.
In previous blogs IML has warned about the extension of the threat areas in which pirate attacks are likely along the line from the Seychelles to the Maldives and into the Mozambique Channel, but it is now clear that the Arabian Sea, is another area in which pirate attacks are now occurring and that the zone within a triangle formed by Socotra, the Gulf of Oman and the northern Maldives is now a threat area. This covers approximately 600,000 square nautical miles, an immense area of sea and one that cannot be effectively protected by international naval forces. In fact the British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, recently made the point that ships using the Indian Ocean will not receive the same level of naval protection from pirates as those in the Gulf of Aden because military resources are limited.
The key lesson from these recent attacks in the Arabian Sea, as far as IML is concerned, is that vessels transiting the Arabia Sea can no longer assume that they are “safe”, and that ALL oil tankers (and other merchant ships) entering and leaving the Persian Gulf now require to have trained their crews and have effective anti-pirate drills and procedures in place; we would add that they should also have anti-piracy equipment deployed. Lloyds have recently extended their exclusion zones, and if these attacks are repeated, then it is inevitable that they will do so again in 2010.
As we have said before, we believe that most of these long-range attacks are planned and targeted using AIS (ship positioning indicators), and that laden oil tankers and bulk carriers are especially vulnerable, because of their low free-board, slow speeds and lack of protection. If, as appears to be the case with four attacks in the Arabian Sea in December 2009, shipping off the west coast of India is now a target then Indian Ocean piracy is entering a new era.
