1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies
Merchant Navy is a civilian naval fleet engaged in the transport of goods (cargo) from one location to another for
trading purposes. With more than 90% of the world trade being carried by merchant ships, it is indeed the backbone
of world trade. This role makes Merchant Navy different from the profession of Indian Navy.
Carrying cargo to different parts of the worlds requires and has made Merchant Navy a highly regularised profession.
Ships today are equipped with the latest technology and provide an opportunity to those who join this profession as
seafarers, a career full of adventure, continuous training opportunities and a high income.
Operating a modern ship efficiently requires specialised knowledge. A seafarer thus needs to undergo training to
operate and manage a ship. The two main departments of operating a ship are:

Deck or Navigation: Deck officers are responsible for the navigation of the ship and delivery of the
cargo at the port of destination as per the time schedule. The department also looks after the general
maintenance, administration, observance of national and international maritime laws and discipline
on board.
Engine: With a basic qualification of engineering, the officers from the Engine Department are
responsible for the efficient running and maintenance of the main engines and other equipments to
enable the ship to sail as per the schedule.

Officers trained in either of the two departments work together to ensure the smooth sailing of the ship and safe
delivery of the cargo. Considered one of the finest seafarer-training institutes among the maritime training facilities
around the globe, Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies (SIMS) was established with an aim at developing a pool
of high caliber seafarers trained at all levels to work in an increasingly demanding shipping environment. SIMS has
in fact set a benchmark in maritime education within the region in just a short span of time since its incorporation in
2002.
It is the institutes commitment to provide an outstanding maritime training opportunity to the Indian seafarers in
addition to developing and nurturing a future generation of competent professional seafarers to carry on the difficult
task of the shipping industry for the 21st Century and beyond.

1.2 POST-SEA TRAINING FACILITY, MUMBAI

The non-commercial post-sea facility of the institute was established exclusively for the in-house crew of our
sponsors, Executive Ship Management Pte Ltd, Singapore as a step to achieve the highest standards in manning.
Located at Chembur, Mumbai, the facility offers over 40 value-added courses to the crew members to upgrade their
knowledge and keep them on top of the increasing requirement of a fast developing shipping industry. The courses
range from Advanced Training on various Tanker Operations to short value-added courses like the Main Engine
Manoeuvring System and Safety Awareness. Many of the courses are mainly specialized training courses on gas,
chemical and oil tankers.
The facilities include unique hands on equipments like a down sized stainless steel tank of a chemical tanker, bridge
simulator with 240 deg. Field of view, liquid cargo handling simulator, main engine manoeuvring simulator, hydraulic
and electric trainers etc.
As a progressive and leading teaching and training institute, SIMS provides international recognition in addition to a
holistic learning experience that is over and above mandatory requirements, giving seafarers that extra edge in
ensuring a safer and more efficient running of ships.
Accreditation
Rated the highest grade by ICRA Indias leading Ratings, Research, Risk and Policy Advisory Company, SIMS is
recognized by the Directorate General of Shipping, India as well as the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. It
is certified by leading maritime classification society, Det Norske Veritas, Norway for ISO 9001: 2008. It is also
approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (UK), Panama, Liberia and Marshall Islands Authorities to run
their Ship Security Officers Course. SIMS is the first and only maritime training institute in India, which is providing
value-added training courses approved under DG Shipping India, MCA (UK), Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of
Singapore as well as Govt. Shipping authorities of Panama and Liberia.

1.3 PRE-SEA TRAINING CAMPUS, LONAVALA

In order to extend such first class maritime training to the next generation of Indian merchant navy officers, SIMS
opened its pre-sea training campus at Lonavala, Maharashtra. This state-of-the-art campus complements the post
sea training facility in Mumbai.
Most modern Campus
Designed to be one of the most modern residential campus of a maritime training institute anywhere, SIMS, Lonavala
is comfortably located eight kilometres from Lonavala town along the Mumbai-Pune-Bangalore Highway (NH4) and
encompasses an area of over 55 acres by the bank of the river Indrayani amidst the magnificent view of the Sahyadri
mountain range. Just a few kilometres away on the northeast are the archeologically famous Karla Buddhist caves,
estimated over 2000 years old.
As trendsetter in the worlds maritime industry, SIMS Lonavala features state-of-the-art facilities with the latest
equipment. In fact, most of the equipments are real-life machineries as in ships and specially designed simulators
are based on the type of vessels managed by our sponsors. The campus also features hands-on training in the shipin-campus a unique facility to simulate the real sailing experience ashore, which is presently not available in any
other maritime institute.
The institute has empanelled a multi-speciality hospital (Pioneer Hospital) in Talegaon for providing medical facilities
to the cadets. A physician from the hospital visits the institute regularly and also when called as well to attend to
cadets sick report and advises on medicines and healthcare. Besides, the institute has a standby vehicle with driver
24x7 to attend to any kind of emergency in the campus.
The institute is fully residential for the students and the faculty and provides all amenities within and around the
campus.
