Founder
A Legacy of Excellence in Maritime and Offshore Training
Suraksha Marine’s journey began with Capt. S. K. Sinha, a maritime pioneer whose career and vision redefined safety training standards in India and globally. Starting as a seafarer in 1983 after training at T.S. Rajendra, Mumbai, Capt. Sinha sailed with global giants like the Shipping Corporation of India and Teekay Corporation, later taking on critical safety roles on offshore oil and gas platforms.
He achieved his Extra Masters degree awarded by M.O.S.T. Govt. of India, which is the highest qualification in marine industry, a pre-requisite for appointment as Nautical Advisor to Govt. of India, and transitioned to shore as a Nautical professor at L.B.S. College, Mumbai, allowed him to educate generations of Indian seafarers of the highest ranks such as Master, Extra Master, Mates, etc., imparting expertise in navigation and various subjects of the international and national maritime industry.
Recognizing the need for standardized training in India during a period of industry reform, Capt. Sinha founded Suraksha Marine in 1991 as a Directoratre General of Shipping approved Maritime Training Institute. His collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and Indian authorities led to the adoption of STCW'95 (as amended), revolutionizing training quality for seafarers working under various Indian and other international flags. In 2005, a Senior executive from a global energy company Shell, disguised as a learner visited the training center. Impressed by Suraksha’s Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), he proposed a partnership to introduce OPITO-accredited courses in India.
This pivotal moment led to Suraksha to become the first and only
OPITO-approved training center in 2009, introducing programs like BOSIET with EBS and setting new benchmarks for offshore safety in India.
Today, Suraksha Marine offers over 25 OPITO-approved courses, alongside DGS, DGCA-approved and other industry recognised and approved training programs, attracting learners from various countries like India, UK, Scotland, Netherlands, Egypt and beyond, to learn and flourish in their careers as top tiered working offhsore personnel
Our Journey to Excellence
in Global Standards Training
The story of Suraksha Marine is one of vision, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to transforming offshore training and certification. Founded by Captain Sinha, our journey began with a shared dream, which was to create a training organization that prioritizes in safety, innovation, and excellence in the oil and gas industry.
The Spark of Inspiration
Captain Sinha, a master mariner with over 50 years of experience in maritime and offshore operations, witnessed first-hand the critical need for robust safety training. Having managed countless helicopter operations and emergency drills on offshore rigs internationally, he saw the gaps in traditional training methods and gaps in offshore personnel skill development in India, that could mean the difference between safety and disaster.
Mrs. Vatsala Sinha, his wife shared his vision and together, they founded Suraksha Marine to bridge these gaps, combining practical offshore experience with cutting-edge educational approaches.
A Vision for the Future
