In 2001, Quality Management System comprising seafarers' training and professional development was introduced in Lithuanian Maritime Academy. It was repeatedly certified in 2014 by UAB "Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Lietuva" according to the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 standard. Lithuanian Maritime school was established on 28 April 1948.

It was a closed-type paramilitary education institution. Students had to live at the school, follow a stringent regime, and wear the uniform at school and outside its limits. During the first years, the school did not have suitable classrooms. Navigators knew navigation devices just from books, and navigational tasks for determining to head were solved using the Gulf of Finland's available charts. In 1991 Klaipėda Maritime School was renamed Klaipėda Higher Maritime School. The school was reorganized to fulfill all Lithuanian fleet needs, not only the ones of the fishing fleet.

On 12 October 1991, Lithuania adhered to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers.

In 1996, the training base of the school was renewed and improved. After a short time, Lithuanian seafarers' training base corresponded to the requirements of the STCW 95 Convention. In 1998 it was renamed Klaipėda University Maritime Institute College.
