⚓ Northeast Maritime Institute has been designated a 2026 Maritime Center of Excellence!

The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) has officially designated NMI as a Center of Excellence for Domestic Maritime Workforce Training and Education, a five-year federal designation recognizing our commitment to preparing the skilled mariners our industry depends on.

This recognition highlights the work happening across NMI, from our College of Maritime Science and hands-on professional training to simulation, sea-service experience, and NEMO° online education. Most importantly, it reflects the dedication of our students, graduates, faculty, staff, and the professional mariners who have trusted NMI with their education.

We are incredibly proud of this recognition and even more excited about the responsibility it brings to continue strengthening maritime education, expanding access to training, and preparing the next generation of professional mariners.
