History of Chabahar Maritime University


 
Chabahar Maritime University (CMU) is under the supervision of International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine and atmospheric pollution by ships. In addition, CMU meets the requirement of STCW 2010 Standards and has obtained an ISO Certificate from TUV NORD Europe. Located on the beautiful beach of Chabahar Bay and the coast of the Oman Sea, Chabahar Maritime University is among the universities supervised by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology (MSRT).

 

Originally named Chabahar Maritime College, CMU was founded with the cooperation of University of Sistan and Baluchistan and University of Southampton, England, in 1976. For the first two years after its establishment, the then Chabahar Maritime College would be managed by British professors and staff.

 

In 1979, after the glorious Islamic Revolution of Iran, all foreign personnel left Chabahar Maritime College and Iranian professors and staff filled their place. In 1983, following the Cultural Revolution in Iran, Chabahar Maritime College resumed its activities by admitting the first group of students through the nationwide entrance examination. In 2002, Chabahar Maritime College became independent from Sistan and Baluchistan University and continued its activities as a Maritime and Marine Sciences Institute of Higher Education until June 2005, when it was promoted to a university. This promotion was followed by adding new programs such as Ship Building Engineering, Maritime Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, and Fisheries Engineering, among others. At present, all the courses which would once be taught by foreign professors are taught by Iranian professors including the top graduates of Chabahar Maritime University, who earned their Ph.D. degrees from top national and international universities using CMU scholarships.

Chabahar Maritime University is one of the most specialized universities of maritime and marine sciences in Iran. It has three colleges, namely Maritime Engineering College, Marine Science College, and Management and Humanities College. Currently, Chabahar Maritime University, having 110 full-time faculty members, serves over 3,700 students at B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. levels.
