ABOUT OUR ORIGINS:

In 2007 Mid Atlantic Maritime Academy (MAMA) bought the assets of Tidewater School of Navigation and began operations in June 1, of 2007. Capt. Jim Miller was instrumental in the start up of the MAMA enterprise at that time, along with others. In October of 2008, The Maritime University, (TMU) was formed as the Engineering branch of MAMA. January 2011, both MAMA and TMU became MAMA/TMU LLC as a single entity known to all as Mid Atlantic Maritime Academy or MAMA.

ABOUT OUR DECK TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT:

Transas Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 Full Mission Bridge simulator interacts with our Transas Full Mission Engine Room simulator and Nav labs with ECDIS ,ARPA, GMDSS and Radar classroom simulators. MAMA’s full-sized gravity davit and 12 man lifeboat installation is located on the waterfront in Cape Charles on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. This equipment is used with our USCG / STCW approved Proficiency in Survival Craft / Lifeboatman course. Students use the equipment to demonstrate launching and recovery procedures, oar commands, rowing the lifeboat and taking command of the lifeboat underway. Advanced Firefighting facilities complete a full service training experience for mariners.

ABOUT OUR ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT:

Working engineering practical applications lab trainers include Fluid Pumps, Hydraulics, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Various Types of Electrical Motors. Students use them to observe the systems operating in a safe environment with “hands on” practical maintenance experience. TRANSAS ERS-5000 Engine Room Simulator provides a full mock up interactive Engine Control Console. Students may operate a full mission engine room as a function of watch standing operations. This simulator can be configured for a variety of ship platforms, from standard tug boats to LNG tanker vessels and from in-port operations to full sea configurations. In a computer classroom, students may operate individual engineering systems through real-world mimic panels. The instructor programs various faults and casualties, and students develop casualty control and emergency solution strategies common to marine engineering systems. MAMA offers a high-voltage safety course.

Just want to thank you and everyone there at Mid Atlantic. I passed my Chief Mates License exam, it went really well. I took all 9 exams in three days and let Richard know that I got a 100 on Stability.
