About IMU Mumbai Port Campus
The Mumbai Campus of Indian Maritime University (IMU) was formed by merging the Lal Bahadur Shastri Centre for Advanced Maritime Studies (LBS CAMSAR) and the Marine Engineering and Research Institute (MERI). LBS CAMSAR, established in 1948, offered post-sea training for merchant navy personnel. In 1949, the Government of India created the Directorate of Marine Engineering Training (DMET), and in 1995, the Mumbai DMET was renamed MERI, providing advanced maritime education and training.
