Mangalore Marine College & Technology Upgraded with World-Class Maritime Simulators

Established in 2010, MMCT holds the distinction of being Karnataka’s first and only Directorate General of Shipping (DGS)-approved marine college. The 15-year-old institution, part of the CMC Group of Institutions, has undergone a comprehensive transformation to meet international maritime training standards.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, S. Shyamsundar, Regional Director, CMC Group of Institutions, said the upgrades include a full mission bridge room, engine room, steering, and LNG bunkering simulators, along with several other advanced learning tools.      MMCT has fully transitioned from offering VTU-affiliated engineering courses to exclusively providing marine-related programmes. The college currently offers four DGS-approved courses — Graduate Marine Engineering (GME), Electro Technical Officer (ETO), Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS), and General Purpose Rating (GP Rating).

The institution also boasts a fully residential campus equipped with a “ship-in-campus” training setup, operational main and auxiliary engines, marine workshops, smart classrooms, digital library, swimming pool, and newly renovated hostel facilities.

Backed by sponsorships from shipping companies operating worldwide, MMCT currently trains over 200 students and has produced more than 2,400 alumni serving in the global maritime sector.

With its latest upgrade, MMCT aims to strengthen its position as a premier maritime training hub in South India, aligning with India’s growing emphasis on skill development and maritime excellence.
