About us

Established as a strategic initiative of Crewkonnect Maritime Services Private Limited, a Chennai-based maritime HR consultancy and manning organization, Marex Academy positioned itself to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world maritime business operations by not just providing maritime training but to develop the professional capabilities required by today's global shipping industry.

The maritime sector is one of the most interconnected industries in the world.
