2. About The Nautical Institute
The Nautical Institute is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) with
consultative status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO).It is
an international representative body for maritime professionals involved
in the control of seagoing ships. It provides a wide range of services to
enhance the professional standing and knowledge of members, who are
drawn from all sectors of the maritime world. Founded in 1972, it has
over 50 branches worldwide and some 7,000 members in more than 120
countries.

4. *To provide the strongest possible professional focus, dedicated
to improving standards of those involved in control of seagoing
craft, while maintaining the Institute as an international centre
of nautical excellence.
*To represent the professional views of the Institute's members
to and within the international, national and local bodies
considering the safety and efficiency of shipping operations.
*To promote and co-ordinate in the public interest the
development of nautical studies in all the Institute's branches by

6. Although Bangladesh has a very long history of maritime
trade and seafaring , the modern phase of the nation’s
maritime journey commenced in 1962 with the
establishment of the Marine Academy in Chittagong. Since
that time the country has been producing a steady stream
of quality officers for the national and international fleet,
with many making the transition to senior positions in
associated shore-based jobs.

7. *Ever committed to professional development and knowledge,
Bangladeshi mariners took the initiative to set up a branch of
the Nautical Institute in 1992. The sole aim was to create a
local platform for mariners to discuss professional matters
with an aim to spread professional knowledge amongst the
members of the institute.
*With growth of membership, in 2009 a separate branch was
established in Dhaka and the Bangladesh branch, with its
base in Chittagong, was renamed as the Nautical Institute,
Chittagong branch.

and eagerly-awaited professional standard to the maritime
industry – that of Chartered Master Mariner (CMMar).
*The award of Chartered status is a gold-standard for those who
deserve the accolade of eminence. It will serve to recognise
Master Mariners who have not only benefited the industry but
have also improved their own professional capability and
demonstrated a willingness to help others.

25. *To ensure the status of Chartered Master Mariner
commands equivalent recognition and professional respect
to other technical disciplines, the path to attaining
Chartered status is designed to thoroughly test and prove
those who would aspire to achieve it. Candidates should
understand that not all who apply will be successful and
that all application fees are non-refundable.

26. What is Chartership?
*Chartership is a marque of excellence, indicating that the holder has
reached the highest level of their profession. The Chartered Master
Mariner scheme introduces the concept to the seafaring profession for
the first time.
What are the benefits of Chartership?
*As the gold standard for achievement and professional recognition, the
Chartered Master Mariner scheme brings maritime into line with other
respected professional sectors. Those awarded chartered status will
have shown exceptional capability over a wide range of disciplines,
marking them out as self-motivated individuals who have made a
significant contribution to the industry.

27. Who can become a Chartered Master Mariner?
*The applicant must be able to demonstrate that they hold, or
have held, the highest level of maritime command qualification
that their State is legally able to issue.
*For mercantile States that are STCW compliant, the current
minimum qualification for meeting the application essential
criteria is an STCW II/2 Master (Unlimited) Certificate of
Competency. For the avoidance of doubt, STCW II/2 Master
(Unlimited) shall mean any equivalent predecessor and/or its
successor.

28. *Non-mercantile high-level command qualifications may, in certain
circumstances, be considered. It is, however, for the applicant to make
the case for equivalency if offering State issued high-level command
qualifications that are non-STCW compliant.
*Regardless of the circumstances, any decision regarding the acceptability
of non-STCW (or successor) compliant qualifications will always lie with
the Court of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners.
Is there an exam?
*No, but the selection procedure is rigorous. Candidates will need to give
details of two referees prepared to support their application. Membership
of a professional body is not essential, but may help an applicant.
