    About IMI

    IMI is the realization of collective dreams. In 1991, 12 eminent professionals from the maritime fraternity determined to pool together resources, expertise, and long broad-based maritime experience to establish an institution in response to the worldwide shipping industry’s severe workforce shortage.

    A training school for seagoing cadets was a long-felt need in the north of India, where 60-70% of the seafaring workforce hails, and IMI was born – a unique training institution geared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

    Graded A1 ‘Outstanding’ by the Indian Registrar of Shipping. IMI is the only marine institute in Northern India that offers a whole range of Pre-Sea, Post-Sea Courses approved by DG Shipping under the Ministry of Shipping. 

    Registrations Open : Courses start January & July.
