Establishment of Syraf Maritime Academy (SMA) was the outcome of the perfect, dynamic and effective movement of Syraf Co. in maritime industry. The main idea, entitled as “Syraf”, was emerged on the foundations of historical sophistication of Iran, as one of the dynamic civilizations of the Middles East, with more than 3000 years of remarkable history in background. Syraf Co. benefited from its practical and scientific experiences such as “the presence of its founder as a ship operator at maritime industry”, “permanent engagements on repair and reconstructing process of different types of vessels” and “establishment of a reputable original brand for production of standard maritime equipment as well as manufacturing vessels with competitive outlooks on global scale.” In fact, foundation of Syraf Co. was built in the view of training expert personnel for designing, management, and executing and controlling professions. Since its advent up to the present time, Syraf has gained valuable experiences on national scale. During the last 22 years of professional work, the company has fully grasped how to walk on the rugged path of training managers, technicians, and all the required employees. Syraf’s training programs are rooted in scientific and purposeful approaches for the sake of further development on maritime industry. This accomplishment has been resolved to train all needed staffs for the industries.
Establishment of Syraf Maritime Academy (SMA) was the outcome of such an expanded vision over development of the industry and enhancement of required knowledge for maritime industry on global scale. We believe that SMA is capable of meeting industrial challenges upon creating a deliberate link between new knowledge and today’s industrial requisitions, as it has done before through training experts for maritime industry.
