Having shifted the Marine School to Nhava in 1912, nautical education was introduced in 1915. On December 4th 1918, a petition was submitted to the Governor of Bombay by about 650 seafarers of the country for establishing a marine training institution for Indians. However as no decision was taken due mainly to the resistance of British shipping interests, the matter was shelved. Thereafter a resolution was moved on January 12th, 1922 by Sir P. S. Srivarswami Aiyar in the Legislative Assembly “to investigate ways and means of promoting the formation of an Indian Mercantile Marine and encouragement of ship building.” In April 1923, the Indian Mercantile Marine Committee visited Nhava and commenced negotiations with Sir Mohamed Yusuf to convert the Marine School at Nhava into a full fledged training establishment under Government auspices. Sir Yusuf declined to hand over the School to the British Government and negotiations broke down. The Petitioners thereafter approached Sir Yusuf directly to convert his school into a Marine training establishment, which he readily agreed to do. In 1925, the School was renamed as the Marine College, and affiliated to Bombay University. Classes were conducted up to the Matriculation Level to qualify for the Home Trade Certificate of Competency. With 375 students on the register, the Marine College became the first training establishment to train Indians both as Ratings and Officers for the Mercantile Marine. After the demise of Sir Yusuf, the fledgling marine training Institution were named as Nautical Training Institute.
Since then the Institutions have gone through many trials and tribulations. Fatima Banu Hospital and sanatorium, Marine Museum and a Library were soon added. The suspension of training during the Second World War, or in the post Independence period, the Government set up its own pre sea training establishment, and again in 1981, when the Expert Committee under Admiral Nanda recommended suspension of all pre sea training.
“In 1972 the Nautical Training Institution was christened as “Training Ship Rahaman” by Late chairman (Emeritus) in the Memory of his father By then the shore establishment, at Nhava comprised of Fatima Banu Hospital, Marine Museum and a small Library."
