FIRST CLASS OFFICER OF THE MERCHANT NAVY (01MM)
ENGINEER-LEVEL SEAFARERThe French Maritime academy trains officers of the merchant navy.Following a five-year-and-a-half dual–purpose training course, both deck and engine, after the bac-calaureat, the students obtain the merchant navy higher education diploma (DESMM) and an engi-neer-level title. They will hold the highest positions onboard: Chief Engineer and Master. The success in graduating and completing navigation time on board sea-going vessels, first as a cadet then as an officer will lead to the first class captain certificate. This international certificate gives the prerogatives to supervi-sion and management positions on all ships and oceans worldwide.
OPPORTUNITIESThe French Marit ime Academy’s
(ENSM) students are recruited by pri-
vate shipping companies as officers on
vessels of all types : container ships,
crude oil tankers, chemical tankers,
ferries, gas carriers, seismic and
oceanographic vessels, cruise ships,
offshore supply vessels… on all the
oceans worldwide.
In ports, they are mainly recruited for
towage and pilotage.
TRAININGThe training consists of lectures, practi-
cals, simulation exercises and onboard
internships.
The students spend two months on
board as navigation time in 1st, 2nd
and 3rd years. The first three years are
done on the Marseille campus. The rest
is done on the Le Havre campus over
five semesters of which eight months
are dedicated to navigation time. The
students who wish not to sail anymore
have the possibility to choose Marine
engineering at the end of the third year:
Ecoship Management (EGN) and Off-
shore Maintenance Manager (DMO)
SUBJECTS TAUGHTNavigation, Charts, Weather, Mecha-
nical Propulsion, Diesel Engines,
Hydraulics, Displacement Machine,
Turbomachine, Safety, Environment
Security, Electricity, Electronics, Maths,
English, Mechanics of fluids, Thermo-
dynamics…
Right from the first year, the students
carry out practical courses to prepare
their onboard internships: personal sur-
vival techniques, fire-fighting…
RETRAININGMerchant navy officers retrain ashore
within shipping companies, ports and
waterways services, the industry,
marine insurance, expertise…Their
ability to manage technical and human
factors independently, their sense of
responsibilities, their safety and securi-
ty awareness as well as the protection
of the environment and their expe-
rience in multicultural management
give them this attractiveness highly
prized by the industrials.
Former students can integrate the
Marine Engineering programmes
(EGN-DMO) or become maritime lec-
turers.

COMPETITIVE ENTRANCE EXAM IN MAY 2019
ORGANISATION OF STUDIESThe first three years are done on the
Marseille campus in Pointe Rouge
which is equipped with rooms dedi-
cated to marine charts, multimedias
labs, IT, electrotechnic engineering,
hydraulics, mechanics, automation,
navigation simulators with a panoramic
view, machinery simulators, Dynamic
Positioning simulator, loading simulator,
radar simulator, radiocommunication
simulator…
The steam plant with diesel engines,
boilers and turbine is unique in France.
For the M1 and M2 specialisation, the
students will benefit from the Le Havre
campus, quai Frissard, a five-minute
walk from the train station where the
Ship-in School, concept which trains
to navigation in real-life conditions,
enables the operation of up to four ships
in situation and to network the deck
and machine simulators in dedicated
premises over four levels.
