Considering its long-standing maritime traditions and biggest sources of trained seafarers, the Kerala government is considering the possibility of setting up a maritime university, said sources in the State Department of Ports.
The State Minister for Ports and Excise K Babu said that the government is open to the idea of setting up a maritime university on its own
as it gives a chance to create a lot of job opportunities.
The Minister said the State Cabinet had directed the Ernakulam District Collector in 2011 to identify a suitable parcel of land for the Indian Maritime University.
