Hi Gautam
While your profile is differentiated (Merchant Navy background, and a Chief Officer profile), you have two things that might go slightly against you - your GMAT score (might work, but is right on the edge) and your quantum of experience (11 years+). While the latter must be tackled through strong essays, clear career goals, and highlighting how an MBA at this stage could help you, the former can be tackled through a retake. In the past, applicants with lower GMAT scores and high experience have been considered too, but those with higher GMAT scores certainly stand a better chance.Therefore, to increase your chances, and with quite some time available right now before you apply, you should retake and try for a higher GMAT score. Also, if possible, try and apply this year (2017 intake) itself, do not delay further.
Apart from these, your academics and your work profile are very good, and will act as assets.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with further questions as needed.
