Історія університету
З
моменту свого заснування Одеський національний морський університет залишається єдиним у своєму покликанні, призначенні, організаційній структурі, cкладній і славетній історії, витвореній упродовж десятиріч його викладачами й випускниками. Наш вищий навчальний заклад і сьогодні відомий у самій Україні та далеко за її межами. Однак, попри незначний порівняно з відомими національними університетами вік, ОІІВТ–ОНМУ посідає перше місце в лавах фундаторів інженерно-морської освіти. Зазираючи за багаторічний відрізок минулого, представляємо короткий нарис основних історичних етапів, які пройшов колектив кількох поколінь учених і співробітників ОІІВТ-ОНМУ — людей, які прославили наш заклад, ототожнюючи себе з ним.
