Welcome to Fremont Maritime Services

What is Fremont Maritime?

Fremont Maritime Services is one of America's most respected maritime safety and emergency procedures training organizations. Every year, we help thousands of professional mariners prepare for fire, flooding, abandon ship, and man overboard emergencies. Some of the world’s largest towing, cargo, passenger and fishing companies trust us to train their officers and crew. We teach (and students practice) the skills which are essential to successful emergency response. Fremont Maritime is proud to be the only civillian firefighting school the U.S. Navy trusts to train and evaluate their seagoing personnel.

We know that good intentions and wishful thinking won’t help your crew put out a fire, launch a life raft, or pull a struggling victim from the water. Training will.

At Fremont Maritime, your crew’s emergency preparedness is our primary business.

What is India Tango?
India Tango is the name of Fremont Maritime's marine firefighting training program. Taken from the International Code of Signals (H.O. 102), the two-letter code "I-T," whether flown as signal flags, sent by morse key, or flashing lights, translates to the meaning "Fire is Under Control." At India Tango, our goal is to provide our students with the knowledge necessary to make sure that aboard their ships, the fire is always under control.
