Anglo-Eastern’s commitment to training achieves major milestone with first vessel fully manned by AEMA officer graduates
Ship management companies that operate specialised pre-sea training institutes are few and far between, but they offer a point of differentiation by providing shipowners with the assurance of a stable supply of highly qualified seafarers to manage their vessels. When the entire officer pool comes from the same reputable academy, the benefits are even greater. For the first time in 15 years, an Anglo-Eastern managed vessel, the M.V. Federal Clyde, is now manned entirely by officer graduates from the Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy (AEMA). This rare achievement within the industry showcases the company’s commitment to training, which is bearing fruit, with an ever-evolving ability to deliver strong performance on both technical and crewing fronts. Established in 2009 in Karjat, India, AEMA is committed to educating and training future seafarers to the highest standards, ensuring a steady supply of cadets for reliable ship management services. The award-winning AEMA equips cadets with up-to-date industry knowledge, operational skills, and soft skills. The institute’s advanced training facilities include an expansive mechanical workshop and state-of-the-art simulators, in addition to virtual reality and game-based e-learning. On the people side, the academy’s educators include experienced former masters and chief engineers who remain actively engaged with the industry. AEMA
