Indian Maritime University Navi Mumbai

Last updated March 01, 2026

Indian Maritime University (formerlyTraining Ship Chanakya, abbreviated asT.S. Chanakya) is a maritime training institute located in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is one of the campuses of the Indian Maritime University.

The campus offers academic and vocational programs in nautical science, including a three-year Bachelor of Science in Nautical Science, designed to prepare students for careers as deck officers in the merchant navy. Admissions to the programs are conducted through the Indian Maritime University Common Entrance Test (IMU CET).^[1] Graduates are qualified for employment as deck officers in the Merchant Navy.

History

In 1927, following advocacy by Sir P. S. Sivaswamy Iyer, the Government of India establish a school to train people for maritime careers. The government passed a formal resolution on 19 March 1927 and acquired the ship HMIS Dufferin to be used as a training school.

The first course began on 5 December 1927 with 26 students. Among them were Ram Dass Katari, who later became the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy, and S. G. Karmarkar, who later became a Rear Admiral.

Training aboard T.S. Dufferin continued for 67 years, including 45 years at Mazgaon Pier in Mumbai; during this time, 2,656 students completed their training. Former students went on to hold senior roles in the Indian Navy, the Central Government, and the shipping industry, including four Chiefs of Naval Staff, numerous admirals, four nautical advisors, and two Chief Surveyors for the Government of India, and many senior executives and masters in the shipping sector.

After T.S. Dufferin, training moved to T. S. Rajendra (named after King Rajendra Chola and built by Hindustan Shipyard). Rajendra could train 250 students at a time - significantly more than the previous ship - and it was used for 21 years to train both deck officers and service staff.^{[ citation needed ]}^[2]

The current shore-based campus, known as T.S. Chanakya, began operations on 5 April 1993, conciding with National Maritime Day.^[3] The campus is located in Navi Mumbai and covers approximately 16 hectares (40 acres). These shore-based facilities replaced earlier maritime training institutions that operated aboard permanently moored training ships (T.S. Rajendra, 1972–1993; T.S. Dufferin, 1927–1972) at Ferry Wharf in Mumbai.^{[ citation needed ]}
