Malaysian Maritime Academy was only known by its present name, when it was upgraded to an academy with the award of government charter by prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad in 1981 and was subsequently placed under the supervision of the Implementation and Coordination unit, Prime Minister's Department. In 1997, it was privatised to Malaysian Maritime Academy Sdn. Bhd. (MMASB), a consortium comprising MISC Berhad, Petronas (Petroliam Nasional Berhad), Penang Shipbuilding and Construction Sdn. Bhd. and Klang Port Management Sdn. Bhd. Malaysian Maritime Academy only became fully owned by MISC Berhad in 2006 and began accepting female cadets the same year. [2]
