The history of MSTI goes back as far as the year . At that time Mercantile
Shipping Company Ltd. [MSCL] was founded as the first private shipping company
in Sri Lanka.
In MSCL founded its own training centre - the Mercantile Seamen Training
Institute [MSTI] in Galle. From the very beginning MSTI was to be a
non-commercial entity, that provided quality-training, accommodation and food
for the participants at very nominal cost, in order to attract the best possible
applicants.
In MMM was founded as a Crew- Management Company to meet all international
standards in shipping. MMM started out by managing the crew on MSCL vessels.
