ABOUT MARINE EDUCATION CHARITABLE TRUST

The Merchant Shipping Act prescribes the minimum qualifications for officers to operate merchant ships. Under the Ministry of Surface Transport, examinations are held by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) for the grant of certificates of competency to the officers. The examination rules require that in addition to the prescribed sea service, the aspiring officers must attend preparatory courses in an approved education institute.
