BP Marine Academy (BPMA) was founded in December 1997 with the aim of providing marine-related training to seafarers. BPMA operates two campuses in Mumbai, one located in Belapur and the other in Panvel. The Academy is accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and has partnered with South Tyneside College. It offers training programs focused on the Merchant Navy and Marine Engineering. BPMA has been recognized with several awards from notable organizations, including the World Book of Records, IAO, Limca Book of Records, and Education Excellence Awards, among others.
The campus spans 15 acres of land, embraced by nature and featuring picturesque views of a 1,000-meter waterfront with a breathtaking sea vista. A historic jetty, built by the legendary Maratha King Shri Shivaji Maharaj, is also part of the Panvel Campus. The Government of Maharashtra has entrusted the entire campus to BPMA to develop a state-of-the-art, world-class maritime training academy that meets the needs of both the national and international maritime industries.
