The Institute has vast experience in organising International Seminars. Since its inception, one major international seminar is held every year at one of its various branches, the most important events being the four-yearly “INMARCO” in Mumbai and the “Shipping Summit” at Chennai.  These seminars are held for three consecutive days, wherein authors and delegates from all over the world exchange information about the latest developments in marine field.  They also have an exhibition segment, wherein various companies display their products.

The Institute of Marine Engineers (India), being the host for the event, welcomes you all to Mumbai for a stimulating week in January 2009. This will be an occassion to share our “Perceptions and Visions” with all attending this conference. We at IME(I) intend to make these few days the most rewarding experience, with exchange of ideas  and constant dialogue with others resulting in developing new contacts and renewing your old contacts.
