Marine Engineering

The ships are required to remain in operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. So it is the duty of the MARINE ENGINEERS on board the ship to keep her operational throughout the year. They are responsible for the maintenance of main engine, auxiliary engines, all electrical & refrigeration equipments and any engineering installations on board the ship. All these make the engineers' job extremely challenging and demanding. Due to the global nature of the shipping industry, to be eligible for employment on board ships, engineers must be trained in conformity with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization and certified by a recognized authority with respect to competency level. In India, the Directorate General of Shipping approves maritime training institutions and their curricula. The same authority also administers examinations to evaluate competency and issues appropriate Certificates of Competency.  We start our career as a Engine Cadet and get promoted various levels according to our sea experience and ability. The eligibility for appearing the various exams are laid down by MMD India.
