Global shipping firm AP Moller Maersk will set up a Centre of Excellence for maritime skill development in Tamil Nadu to support skill development and training needs for Maersk cadets across deck, electrical and engine.

Maersk has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Academy of Maritime Education and Training (AMET) University to jointly operate this facility with an aim to maintain a steady channel of Indian seafarers for its operations.
