In 1912 Wosong Merchant Marine School, renamed as Wosong Merchant Marine College in 1928,was established Then in 1959 the Ministry of Transport (called Ministry of Communications then) created Shanghai Maritime Institute. Since 2000, the institute has been jointly run by Shanghai Municipality and the Ministry of Transport, with the former as the main administrative organ.

At present the university runs two post-doctoral research stations, one first-level-discipline doctoral program, seven second-level-discipline doctoral programs, 29 master’s degree programs, two specialized master's degree programs, 43 bachelor's degree programs, and 12 associate-degree programs.
