INTRODUCTION
From setting anchor in early 1993 with just over a dozen students to its present status as a top educational hub for those seeking a career in the Shipping Industry, AMET has bourgeoned into a strong base for maritime education. Located just outside Chennai in Kanathur, Tamil Nadu, AMET was recently awarded a full membership certificate by The International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) in October 2008. A prestigious honour indeed!

This honour is not surprising, adding to its past list of awards, including the Outstanding Achievements in Regional Maritime Service Award from Sea Trade (2007 ) and the Sailor Today Award (2008 ). It is also ISO Certified, having earned the Certification to ISO 9001: 2000 Standards from Det Norske Veritas, Norway.

Accommodation Facilities: The more than thousand cadets comfortably reside in the well-furnished hostel with its own canteen / dining hall and have access to an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Academic Facilities: The class rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art teaching equipment, such as a variety of projectors as well as a public address system. There is an actual fully operational Ship on campus for hands-on training on lathes, turbines, engines, welding sets, and all kinds of machines. In addition, there are separate computer training programs to impart knowledge and hands-on training of navigational systems, such as simulators and radars.
