Adonias Marine Institute Foundation

You can find us at Shop Number 6 in the Ulwe Millennium Infra building. It’s over in Panvel, specifically in the Ulwe area which is still developing quite a bit. Being near Raigarh, we get a lot of local folks coming in to ask about maritime stuff. Adonias Marine Institute Foundation isn’t some massive university; it’s more of a practical place where we focus on getting people ready for the sea. The shop isn’t huge, but we’ve organized it so we can get our work done. Panvel is a bit of a trek for some, but for us, it’s home. We spend a lot of time talking about ships, safety, and what life is like on the water. It’s a bit dusty around here because of all the construction in Sector 9, but that’s just how Ulwe is right now. We started this because we know the marine industry can be tough to get into if you don’t have a starting point. We aren’t interested in being a big corporate entity. We just want to make sure the guys who come to us know what they are doing before they head out. It’s a small foundation, run by people who actually care about the work. We usually have the doors open early. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll see our sign. It's nothing fancy, just a place for people to learn about the merchant navy and how to get started.
