Established in 1930, it was particularly strong in fields such as shipbuilding, ocean engineering, and civil engineering, serving the industrial needs of the Russian Far East. While FESTU no longer operates as an independent entity, having merged into the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in 2011, its academic legacy is carried forward within FEFU's technical faculties.

Its distinctive characteristic was its deep historical connection to the maritime and industrial development of the region.
