About GMU
GMU is an endeavor by the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), the state regulator for ports and maritime activities in Gujarat. The University has been conceived by visionaries to address the burgeoning need for a skilled workforce in the ever-changing dynamics of the maritime sector.

prominent institutions like Erasmus University and STC International. Many more
such alliances shall be forged in time to come.
