Welcome to Vel's Academy of Maritime Studies

Ships are among the most powerful artifacts made by the hand of man. They have transcended mere practical use and become instruments of great influence. The inventiveness of the human race in overcoming the challenges of the natural environment is a recurring theme in history, and is one in which the ship plays a significant role.

The Navigating Officers who qualify from Vel's Academy of Maritime Studies (VAMS) will be responsible for the navigation ships, loading and discharging of cargo, maintenance of ships, safety of passengers and crew and observance of various national and international codes of conduct. In so far as they relate to sea transportation, the highest rank that navigating officers can expect to attain on board a merchant ship is that of A Master (CAPTAIN) of A Ship To be employed as a navigating officer on a merchant ship, it is necessary to obtain a certificate of competency under the regulations in force.
