Fraunhofer CML and Indian Maritime University Sign Memorandum of Understanding

Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services CML has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Indian Maritime University (IMU), establishing a strategic partnership to advance maritime education and research. The collaboration focuses on developing maritime simulator networks, AR/VR-based training solutions, situational awareness assessment systems, and ship-to-shore communication technologies. Through this partnership, Fraunhofer CML will work closely with IMU to create integrated training solutions utilizing existing simulator infrastructure and facilitate access to international funding opportunities, including the Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC). This partnership marks an important step in strengthening Indo-German cooperation in maritime innovation and technology development.
