About Marine Training Academy
Marine Training Academy, Mumbai
Established in April 1993 by Dr. S.G. Koli as the Marine Medical Academy, the institute was later renamed Marine Training Academy in January 2003. Approved by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, and ISO 9002 compliant, MTA has been at the forefront of maritime training for over two decades.
We specialize in training seafarers in safety and competency courses mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the STCW 1978 Convention (as amended). Our programs are designed to prepare Masters, Marine Engineers, Navigators, and Ratings to meet the challenges of modern ocean-going merchant vessels, including cargo ships, tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, and passenger vessels
At MTA, pre-sea and post-sea training emphasizes both classroom instruction and practical, outdoor exercises, ensuring that Indian officers and crew continue to be recognized globally for their professionalism, competence, and discipline in accordance with international maritime standards.
