of the DG approved Institute to prepare the Cadets for a written & oral examination
conducted by the Director General of Shipping, Ministry of Surface Transport,
government of India.
On successful completion of the Programme a Cadet will be awarded a degree of B.Sc.
(Nautical Science) by University of Mumbai and a Certificate of Competency by Govt.
of India, which will enable him to become an officer on a merchant ship.
A Pre -Sea Navigating Officer Cadet successfully completing the three years programme
would acquire basic knowledge and understanding of the types of merchant ships, ship
operations, types of goods carried by ships, shipping trade, and a foundation in the basic
principles of navigation and environmental science.
The course is designed to impart:
~ Theory and practice of seamanship and ship knowledge.
~ Good foundation in principles of navigation and introduction to celestial Navigation.
~ Practical knowledge of chart work and cargo work.
