DESCRIPTION :

Kerala has been the Maritime gateway to South India with a very long coast line. Kochi¸ the queen of Arabian Sea placed along this coast line¸ has always kept its doors open to the maritime industry. Kochi Port¸ an all-weather port¸ is most strategically located on the east west trade route. No other Indian port enjoys this proximity to the maritime highway as Kochi port. All these factors fuelled the growth of Kochi as a maritime hub. The port city of Kochi with its rich maritime background promises great potential for establishment of Maritime institutions offering specialized maritime courses and training.

It was felt that establishment of a Campus of the IMU at Kochi will go a long way in promotion of the maritime sector in particular and the economy of the country as a whole¸ and the coastal region in particular. The LNG Petronet Project and the Container Terminal Project at Vallarpadam would also be immensely benefited in terms of manpower training from the IMU Kochi Campus.
