École nationale supérieure maritime

École nationale supérieure maritime (ENSM), France’s engineering institution for merchant marine training, operates its main campus in Le Havre with sites in Nantes, Saint‑Malo and Marseille. Founded in 1865 as the École supérieure de marine marchande and reorganized in 2010, ENSM delivers accredited programs in navigation, marine engineering, maritime transport and ship safety, preparing officers for the commercial fleet. Its ties to French shipping companies, classification societies and naval authorities ensure curricula remain aligned with industry standards and technological advances. Graduates occupy key positions aboard merchant vessels, in port management and maritime consultancy, reinforcing France’s role in world shipping. Wikipedia↗
