About
It was a sense of Professionalism combined with telling concern for the demise of several Shipping companies that were established in the country over the years. As the nation commemorates 75th year of its independence. We are trying to rebuild the same old sprit that were evident in the shipping activities of yore, with same values that were cherished by the original founders in India, for a sustainable growth with a different approach.
At SCINDIAS and under the guidance of our Mentors and Gurus we intent to focus on R & D and carry forward the development of several newer technologies many of which are connected to Shipping Industry. We have over 100 technologies that will be patented and developed under the guidance of our mentors in the future.
Our Shipping and Maritime activities are at the core and forefront of all our activities. We have a Physical Library with a good collection of books in several languages.
Scindia is a flat horizontal organization with no hierarchy. Scindia does not seek status. For us the name 'SCINDIA" is enough to carry forward the legacy in spirit and action.
Scindia is not faceless. Our actions speak for our works. All our key people have a significant stature in professional and Social structure and they are universally respected.

- Chapter 9 of the International Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS Code), relating to fault isolation requirements for individually identifiable fire detector systems installed, in lieu of section identifiable fire detector systems on cargo ships and passenger ship cabin balconies; and clarifying the acceptability of less complex and costly section identifiable fault isolation for individually identifiable fire detector system on cabin balconies; and clarifying the acceptability of less complex and costly section identifiable fault isolation for individually identifiable fire detector systems.
- A minor amendment to chapter II (Conditions of assignment of freeboard), as well as amendments to chapter III (Freeboards) of annex I (Regulations for determining load lines) of Annex B to the 1988 Load Lines Protocol, concerning watertight doors on cargo ships, and associated amendments concerning watertight doors on cargo ships to chapter 2 (Ship survival capability and location of cargo tanks) of the International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code).
- Updates to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, in line with the updates to the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, which set the recommendations for all transport modes. Contracting Governments to the SOLAS Convention are invited to apply the amendments from 1 January 2023 on a voluntary basis.
Adopted by MEPC 78:
- MARPOL Annex I in relation to watertight doors.
Adopted by MEPC 76
- Entry into effect of amendments to MARPOL Annex I (addition of a new regulation 43A) to introduce a prohibition on the use and carriage for use as fuel of heavy fuel oil (HFO) by ships in Arctic waters on and after 1 July 2024. The prohibition will cover the use and carriage for use as fuel of oils having a density at 15°C higher than 900 kg/m3 or a kinematic viscosity at 50°C higher than 180 mm2/s. Ships engaged in securing the safety of ships, or in search and rescue operations, and ships dedicated to oil spill preparedness and response would be exempted. Ships which meet certain construction standards with regard to oil fuel tank protection would need to comply on and after 1 July 2029. A Party to MARPOL with a coastline bordering Arctic waters may temporarily waive the requirements for ships flying its flag while operating in waters subject to that Party's sovereignty or jurisdiction, up to 1 July 2029.

What is Navigational Skills assessment Program
The Navigation Skills Assessment Program (NSAP) is a Risk-based measurement tool to assess a mariner's performance in the Simulator, Focuses specifically on the core skills required of licensed deck officers as defined by International Standards and Industry best practices.
What are the findings of Certifying Navigational Skills: A Video-based Study on Assessments in Simulated Environments
In Maritime Education and Training (MET) where students are trained for professions with high standards of safety, the use of simulators is taken to provide opportunities for safe and cost-effective training. Although the use of simulators for training and certifying technical proficiency and so-called nontechnical skills is well established and regulated by international standards, previous research suggests that simulator-based assessment has been poorly implemented in the MET system. Now the challenge is to contribute with knowledge about how to conduct consistent, unbiased, and transparent assessments of navigational skills and competencies. However, in current research it is not evident how training of nontechnical skills in simulated environments should be assessed. The aim of this study is to explore the pedagogical challenges instructors face when assessing students’ navigational skills and competencies in a simulated environment. The study is based on video-recorded data from the certification part in a navigation course for second year master mariner students. A situated approach to cognition and learning is employed to analyze the co-construction of assessment in the simulated exercises by means of instructors’ questions and students’ answers. Results reveal an assessment practice where the students are still developing their navigational skills with instructional support from examiners whilst being certified on using Radar equipment in accordance to COLREG.
What is MEOSAR
MEOSAR
MEOSAR satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of between 19,000 and 24,000 kms. The satellites are positioned so that there is an overlap of at least 4 satellites for any given region of our planet.
How many MEOSAR satellites are there?
MEOSAR Constellation, GPS-DASS (S-band), GLONASS K
| Number of active satellites | 17/24 | 2/24 |
| Number of orbital planes | 6 | 3 |
| Orbital inclination | 55º | 64º |
| Orbital altitude | 20,180 km | 19,140 km |
Is MEOSAR operational?
Satellites in medium-altitude Earth orbit (MEO), which form the MEOSAR system currently operating regionally with early operational capability. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude between 19,000 and 23,000 km, a range considered as medium- altitude Earth orbit

IS 'ALARP' is enough in Management of & Risk assessment on board a vessel?
As low as reasonably practicable may not be enough in my countries Safety laws. There need to be more barriers and regulatory requirement in various Jurisdiction.
ALARP, or ALARA, is a principle in the regulation and management of safety-critical and safety-involved systems. The principle is that the residual risk shall be reduced as far as reasonably practicable. In UK and NZ Health and Safety law, it is equivalent to SFAIRP.

The Pushkar Brahma festivals are primarily centered around Kartik Purnima, the full moon day in the Hindu month of Kartik (October-November), and the Pushkar Camel Fair, which coincides with this religious festival. During Kartik Purnima, thousands of pilgrims visit Pushkar to take a holy dip in Pushkar Lake and worship at the Brahma Temple. The Pushkar Camel Fair, a large cattle fair, also takes place at this time, attracting tourists and traders from all over. The Pushkar Mela (also known as the Pushkar Camel Fair) in 2025 will be held from October 30 to November 5. This aligns with the Kartik Purnima, the full moon day in the Hindu month of Kartik, which is considered an auspicious time for a holy dip in Pushkar Lake.
