Maritime Administration of Honduras
The General Directorate of the Merchant Marine (GDMM) of the Republic of Honduras is an open registry committed on being a professional competitive Administration based on the continuous effort to provide high quality maritime education and certification to seafarers according to the provisions of the STCW Convention, as amended.

Accreditation
ALS Hellenic Maritime Training Center proudly carries the Authorization by the GDMM of the Republic of Honduras for so many rears, thus providing endorsed certification of training. Our institution has been fully accredited by the Maritime Administration of Honduras to implement the updating or upgrading procedures for the issuance of Certificates of Competency (CoC), Certificates of Proficiency (CoP) and Continuous Discharge Certificates (CDC). Within this perspective, our Maritime Training Center grants the GDMM Approval to conduct all the STCW courses designed for Deck/Engine Officers and Ratings at the most competitive prices in the market. Also, our MTC operates under ISO 9001:2015 approved by Bureau Veritas and accredited by UKAS.

Additionally, our Maritime Training Center offers the most competitively priced range of comprehensive functional, technical, management and MLC courses, approved by the Honduran Flag Administration, needed to upgrade the knowledge, skills and competences of Seafarers, all whilst maintaining compliance with the amended STCW ’78 (including Manila Amendments 2010), SOLAS, MARPOL 73/78, and MLC provisions.

Our goal
ALS HMTC’s major effort is to promote maritime safety, security and environmental awareness by providing maritime career-oriented education to Seafarers leading to Certificates issued by White List Member States of the amended STCW Convention. Needless to emphasize that the holders of Certificates issued by the General Directorate of the Merchant Marine of the Republic of Honduras have a great opportunity in joining vessels which are entitled to fly Flags serving merchant shipping globally.
