The maritime industry is the backbone of modern businesses and is responsible for transporting over 90 percent of the world goods. Without maritime transport, the import and export of goods and merchandises on the scale necessary for the modern world would not be possible. With the growing efficiency of shipping as an economical mode of transport and increasing trade liberalisation, seaborne trade continues to expand and prosper while employing millions of people worldwide on land and sea.

In response to the growing industry and rise in demand for human capital, Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology (NMIT) was established in 2011 to undertake maritime education, training, research and consultancy activities. Located right at the heart of ASEAN and at the junction of bustling regional maritime industries, NMIT is strategically positioned to support national and regional competitiveness in the maritime, logistics as well as oil and gas industries through the offering of various accredited academic and training programmes. Driven by our motto, "Excellence with a Purpose", we strive to provide the students as well as industry personnel with the right skills, ample knowledge and valuable experience that are required for a successful maritime career.

Since our inception in 2011, we have supported more than 2,000 students at both our City Campus in Johor Bahru and EduCity Campus in Iskandar Puteri. NMIT currently offers programmes at diploma level in the field of port operations, shipping management, maritime logistics, maritime law and maritime occupational safety & health with several other courses in the pipeline covering areas in offshore oil & gas operations etc. All our programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and recognised by reputable university partners from all over the globe
