NUSI Maritime Academy (NMA), located in Chinchinim, Goa, is a premier maritime training institute in India founded in 1993 under the NUSI/ITF Welfare Trust. The academy was established to address the shortage of trained ratings in the Indian shipping industry and is the only large-scale maritime academy started by a trade union. Spread across 35 acres of lush green campus, NMA provides world-class training in GP Rating, Catering Crew (CCMC), and STCW safety courses, ensuring cadets are equipped with the skills, discipline, and certifications required for global shipping careers.
