Message From Founder Trustee

“Education-for-Employment”, there seems to be a remarkable mismatch between what is being taught in Schools, Colleges & Universities and the Knowledge, Skill and Behavior that businesses are expecting from new recruits. While the demand for large scale reforms in the education sector to match the Shipping industry’s expectation is gaining slow momentum, at present, there is a serious knowledge gap resulting in employing non and semi skilled personnel with very low productivity making the industry and the products non-competitive.

Labour intensive industries like ship operations, Ship building & Repair, despite having a healthy order book are plagued with unacceptable delivery delays purely attributable to under-performance of the ship building and planning crew. Ship repair and maintenance is another field though with vast potential to grow is suffering due to lack of competently trained skill labour. India is opening up to inland water services that offer another job opportunity as well, but having no skilled personal to man.

To fill this gnawing gap, we at College of Ship Technology has affiliated with Indian Maritime University to ‘Teach, Train & Build’ a good number of overseeing production personnel for the Ship Building & Repair Industry through IMU’s 3year B.Sc. Degree Program. With great employment potential in India and Overseas, the B.Sc. course in SHIP BUILDING & REPAIR offered by Indian Maritime University at this unique College run by maritime experts will be a great boon to Shipyards, and Marine related industries such as Oil & Gas, Offshore, Ports & Harbours, Classification Societies and equipment manufacturers & service etc. in India and abroad. We will be offering other Maritime Education and Training programs soon.

I have great pleasure in extending a warm welcome to the employers for the Campus Selection and I am sure they will find the students as potential managers of the future, for their ships and Yards tasking various activities of Ship Building and Repair from planning to production to delivery and after sales.
