McLarens Maritime Academy (MMA) was established in 2021 as a proudly owned subsidiary of the McLarens Group of Companies — a diversified conglomerate with over 75 years of industry leadership and a well-established presence in five distinct sectors: Maritime & Logistics, Petroleum & Energy, Manufacturing & Distribution, Property & Strategic Investments, and Leisure. With this strong corporate foundation, MMA was built to set a new benchmark for maritime education in Sri Lanka.
At MMA, we are committed to delivering world-class maritime training that meets and exceeds global standards. We are the only maritime training institute in Sri Lanka with direct access to our own fleet of vessels, ensuring our candidates gain practical, hands-on experience from day one. This not only enhances their skills but also prepares them for real-world challenges at sea.
Our long-standing partnerships with leading global shipping brands, including internationally renowned and Fortune 500 companies, open the door to exceptional career opportunities for our graduates. We don’t just train our students to pass exams — we prepare them for long-term success in the maritime industry.
Behind our programmes is an exceptional faculty of Master Mariners, Chief Engineers experienced seafarers, and industry professionals, whose expertise, mentorship, and dedication ensure that every student receives the highest quality of education and guidance.
From our first day, our mission has been clear: to shape the next generation of industry leaders. At MMA, we don’t just produce seafarers — we groom future captains and chief engineers who will uphold the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and excellence on the world’s oceans.
In a world that moves fast and stretches people thin, we recognized a need for something deeper—something that connects individuals not only to their goals, but to themselves, their communities, and the planet. Our journey began with a vision: to create a space where anyone—regardless of age, culture, or background—can return to their center, discover their strength, and grow with intention.
Drawing from ancient wisdom, modern wellness practices, and human development principles, we’ve designed a global, intergenerational platform for whole-person transformation. From a child learning to manage emotions, to a young adult seeking direction, to a senior seeking peace and purpose—we support each person’s unique path. Whether you’re an individual, a family, an organization, or a government body, we partner with you to nurture human potential—one breath, one movement, one choice at a time.
McLarens Maritime Academy with a strong vision for its future, to rank among top Maritime Education Facilities in Sri Lanka.
We are strongly committed to pursue quality education in the maritime field to impart knowledge to succeed. Our innovative curriculum and teaching methods will empower our students to be leaders, to be self-disciplined, and to become global citizens with ethnics and skills. Empowered by our Sri Lankan traditions, our students will become self-conscious of their responsibility, for safety, security of fellow individuals and to prevent pollution of mother nature.
