Maritime Education – Putting in the Right Emphasis

Education is the first step towards the effective and efficient utilization of the available resources. Same is the case with maritime sector and industry.

Whether it is port sector or shipping industry, coastal zone development or environment protection, what we need is to have means to educate our people for all tiers and types of organizations in maritime domain.
