Formed in 1986 with the aim of addressing the acute shortage in Merchant Navy Officers, Clyde Marine Training (CMT) has remained at the forefront of producing the industry’s highest quality cadets.
Representing the sector’s leading shipping companies and managing approximately half of all cadets in training at any one time, we have attained and maintained our position as the UKs leading Merchant Navy Training provider through a focus on quality, collaboration and transparency, ensuring that cadets and our clients are at the heart of our processes.
Our quality is demonstrated through the thousands of cadets we have managed to achieve their goal of becoming Merchant Navy officers, resulting in long and distinguished careers, and we remain proud of each and every one of our graduates.
Collaboration can be seen in the close working relationships we have developed with nautical colleges throughout the UK, but also through the additional services offered through our sister companies that we enjoy as being part of the wider Northern Marine Group, more of which you can see below.
And transparency in our relationships with our clients, offering them clear choices on how we manage cadets on their behalf, and visibility over of all aspects of their training.

But our service does not stop when we put forward the cadets for training, we work hand-in-hand with our college partners to ensure that they are closely supported through all phases of training.
Our custom-built and customer focused Cadet database, ensures that all essential legal and medical documentation is maintained and secure throughout the duration of training.
