The Singapore Organization (SOS), the Nantong Shipping College (NSC) and the Singhai Marine Services (SMS) have decided to pool their resources so as to be better able to meet the challenge and satisfy the expectation of a demanding international market.

They jointly established a training institute called the Singapore (Nantong) International Maritime Institute (SNIMI) to meet the training requirements of the respective customers of the three parties and the maritime community in general.

SNIMI’S mission is to provide the best quality maritime education and training in mandatory and non-mandatory Merchant Marine courses for both international and local shipping companies.

Located inside the campus of NSC, SNIMI currently occupies three storeys of NSC Auxiliary Administration Building, or about a total area of 24,000 square metres, comprising offices, conference rooms, seminar rooms, multimedia classrooms and fully equipped CBT rooms. In addition NSC’s full spectrum of teaching equipment and facilities also includes full mission navigation simulator, engine room simulator and mock-up, seamanship training facilities and welding centre, library and information centre, swimming pool and stadium, all of which are completely accessible to SNIMI.

SNIMI has a team of highly qualified and competent trainers who are mainly from overseas. All the courses and programmes will be conducted in English.

SNIMI is in the process of attaining the ISO9001-2008 standards (DNV) for both maritime training centre and maritime simulator centre.

SNIMI’s dream is not only to match its competition but also to aspire to be the market leader in the maritime training industry.
