ASHA MARINE TECHNICAL COLLEGE & RESEARCH (AMTCR) operates under the registered Rammurat Umrawati (RMU) Memorial Charitable Trust. The institution is approved by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS), Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, with MTI No.: 202078. AMTCR is dedicated to preparing the youth of India for careers in the Merchant Navy, specifically through its GP Rating program, conducted under the guidelines of the DGS. Successful candidates are qualified to serve as Ratings aboard Indian or foreign ships operating worldwide.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO), based in London, has made significant contributions toward the global goals of safe shipping and clean seas. Through the development of conventions, protocols, and standards—such as those related to safety of life at sea (SOLAS), marine pollution prevention (MARPOL), and standards for certification and watchkeeping (STCW)—the IMO continues to raise the bar for maritime professionalism and safety.
Recognizing the challenges and skill demands of a modern shipping career, AMTCR is also expanding its presence with a new campus being established in Pali District, Raigad, Maharashtra, to offer comprehensive training aligned with international maritime standards.
