About IMU Chennai-campus
The Chennai Campus of Indian Maritime University (IMU) traces its origins to 1984, with the establishment of the National Institute of Port Management (NIPM) by the Government of India, supported by UNDP/UNCTAD. In 2006, it became the National Maritime Academy (NMA) to train professionals across the maritime industry.
