Hello Abhiniash

How to Become a Marine Engineer?

The best part of pursuing a marine engineering degree after mechanical engineering is that you don’t have to go through the four years of rigorous engineering training, which a marine engineer has to go through. All you need is a one year specialized course.

A one year Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) course after mechanical engineering would give students the licence to enter merchant navy. This one year GME course is all you need to become a marine engineer after doing mechanical engineering.

Eligibility Criteria

However, there are certain requirements which one should satisfy in order to join the one year marine engineering course. They are as follows:

Graduation in BE (Mechanical) Engineering / Naval Architecture with minimum marks of 50% in final year
Must have minimum 50% marks in English language at 10th or 12th or in Degree Exam.
Must not be more than 28 years old
Should satisfy all health requirements that are necessary to join the merchant navy. To know more about the medical health requirements.

Hi Mihir,

There are various broad areas of Marine or Maritime Engineering such as handling operations and functional capability of equipments, research related to water resources, construction and maintenance of ships or sailing vessels. 

Basically, there are 4 themes in Marine Engineering. These are:

-Engine Department

-Deck Department

-Research Engineering

-Marine Management

The above are the various branches of Marine Engineering. Although, marine engineering is itself a field consisting of all the above components.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

Hello

Marine Engineering is a branch of Engineering which involves the construction and maintenance of ships, other sailing vessels, ports and cargo facilities at waterfront.

It is also known as Ocean Engineering. Marine engineers apply the engineering sciences like mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.

Hi Gitanshi

You can pursue Marine engineering after completing your undergraduate level of Mechanical Engineering in B.E/B.Tech Mechanical Engineering or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. 

I'll suggest you a few courses for marine engineering:

1. GME course

GME stands for Graduate Marine Engineering. GME course after mechanical engineering would give you the licence to enter merchant Navy. 

The duration of this course is 1 year.

Eligibility criteria: minimum 50% in English language at 10th or 12th or in degree exam.

You should not be more than 28 years old.

And most importantly, you should satisfy all the health requirements that are necessary to join Merchant Navy.

I'll suggest you some institutes offering GMU courses:

Academy of Maritime Education and training, Chennai

Garden reach ship builders and engineers Ltd, Kolkata

international Maritime Institute Ltd, Greater Noida

Samudra institute of Maritime Studies, Lonavala, Maharashtra

Vel's Academy of Maritime Education and Training, Chennai

Also there is IMU ( Indian Maritime University) , it has no. Of training location all over India. It also puts up notifications for same.

2. You can also do M.E/M.Tech Marine engineering .

Time duration is 2 years

 3. There are Diploma courses as well.

Marine Engineering is basically discipline of applying engineering sciences to Develop , Design, operate and maintain on-board systems maintenance, so it includes your Mechanical, Chemical, electronic engineering and computer science.
