To comply with the latest DG Shipping swimming pool rules for maritime training institutes, first ensure your institute has an on-campus swimming pool meeting the mandatory dimensions of at least 50 ft length, 30 ft width, and depth ranging from 3 ft to 12 ft; next, install a 2-meter-high jumping platform to meet Personal Survival Techniques (PST) training standards; after that, maintain strict hygiene and safety protocols including 24/7 CCTV surveillance, proper filtration systems, and water quality levels (chlorine 1.0–3.0 ppm and pH around 7.2–7.8) with regular testing; then ensure that any external or off-campus training facility is within 80 km and properly disclosed to candidates if beyond 10 km; finally, complete compliance before the enforcement deadlines, as non-compliant institutes risk withdrawal of course approvals and suspension of training programs by DG Shipping.

A chartering license for foreign-flagged vessels in India is a regulatory approval issued by the Directorate General of Shipping that allows foreign ships to operate in Indian waters for specific commercial activities. The license is governed mainly under Sections 406 and 407 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, which regulate the chartering of foreign vessels by Indian companies or foreign entities involved in coastal trade. The licensing system ensures that maritime operations comply with safety, security, and trade regulations while protecting opportunities for Indian-flag ships. Companies applying for this license must submit documents such as vessel registry certificates, charter party agreements, statutory safety certificates, and crew compliance records. The application process is now largely digital through the eSamudra portal, enabling businesses to apply, track approvals, and maintain compliance with India’s maritime regulations efficiently.
