Japan Marine United Cadet Programme

Japan Marine United (JMU) is a Japanese shipbuilder formed in 2013 from the merger of Universal Shipbuilding and IHI Marine United, headquartered in Yokohama. A JMU cadet program centers on shipbuilding, naval-architecture, and design apprenticeships rather than STCW seafarer certification; the firm builds commercial and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels. Its cadet track develops shipbuilding and naval-architecture engineers, not STCW-certified merchant deck or engine officers.
