Dalian Maritime University (formerly Dalian Maritime College) is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Transport. It is one of the first batch of universities included in the national "211 Project" and "Double First-Class" construction. It is a university jointly established by the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education, the People's Government of Liaoning Province, and the People's Government of Dalian City. The school originated from the Ship Administration Department of the Shanghai Higher Industrial School of the Ministry of Posts and Communications established in 1909. In 1911, Tang Wenzhi founded the Shanghai Higher Commercial Marine School of the Ministry of Posts and Communications based on the Ship Administration Department. In 1912, it was renamed Wusong Merchant Marine School. It was closed in 1915. After reopening in 1929, it was renamed Wusong Merchant Marine College of the Ministry of Transport. It was closed again in 1937. In 1939, it was reopened in Chongqing and renamed National Chongqing Merchant Marine College. In 1943, it was merged into the National Jiaotong University in Chongqing. In 1946, it was reopened in Shanghai and renamed National Wusong Merchant Marine College. In 1950, it merged with the Department of Maritime Management of Jiaotong University to form Shanghai Maritime College. In 1953, the Central People's Government decided to merge Shanghai Navigation College with Northeast Navigation College, which originated from Northeast Merchant Marine School in 1927, to form Dalian Maritime College. In the same year, Fujian Navigation College, which originated from the Fisheries Department of Jimei School in 1920, was incorporated. In 1960, the school was identified as a national key university. In 1963, the State Council approved the implementation of semi-military management of the school's navigation majors. In 1983, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) established the Asia-Pacific International Maritime Training Center in the school. In 1985, the World Maritime University established a branch in the school. In 1994, the school was renamed Dalian Maritime University. In 1997, the school became a key university in the national "211 Project". In 1998, the school's quality management system was certified by the State Harbor Supervision Bureau (now the Maritime Safety Administration of the Ministry of Transport) and the Norwegian Classification Society (DNV), becoming the first university in China to introduce the ISO9001 quality management system into talent training quality management. In 2017, the school was selected as a national "double first-class" construction university. The school's development history represents the development of China's higher maritime education. The school was founded when the nation suffered from foreign humiliation and national fortune declined, and shouldered the historical mission of "saving navigation rights and revitalizing national fortune". Although it has gone through twists and turns and hardships, it has always been passed on from generation to generation and continued to develop. It has cultivated a large number of pillars of the shipping industry and made important contributions to the revitalization and development of the country's shipping industry. It is known as the "cradle of navigators". The achievements of the school and its reputation at home and abroad have been fully affirmed and highly praised by the central leadership. In 1993, Jiang Zemin, Wen Jiabao, Zeng Qinghong, Li Lanqing and other party and state leaders successively visited Dalian Maritime University. Comrade Jiang Zemin personally wrote the inscription for the school: "Be firm, rigorous, diligent, pioneering, and build a world-class higher maritime institution!" In 2009, the school successfully held the "China Higher Maritime Education and Dalian Maritime University 100th Anniversary" commemorative activities. Li Changchun, Zhang Dejiang, Liu Yandong, Chen Zhili and other party and state leaders sent letters or inscriptions to congratulate the school. Liu Yandong, Chen Zhili and other party and state leaders visited the school respectively. The school is located in the southwest of Dalian, a famous coastal city in northern China.
