At no time in Australian history has the need for high quality maritime education, training and research been so starkly evident. Across the sector, from seafaring to transport logistics, port security, ship building, fisheries management, and marine and coastal conservation, the challenges are enormous. By joining forces with the University of Tasmania, AMC, as Australia's national maritime institute, will be able to reallocate resources to lead the way in several areas of vital importance to our economic well-being, national security or protection of the marine environment.

The University of Tasmania and the Australian Maritime College have an exciting future together, and the aim of Project Unity is to ensure that we make the most of the opportunities created by the integration of our organisations.  

Bringing together our people and facilities gives us the chance to expand Tasmania’s reputation and expertise in maritime related studies, including naval architecture, ocean engineering and maritime hydrodynamics, integrated transport logistics, marine science and technology, fisheries and sustainable management of ocean resources. Tasmania will improve its position as an international leader in maritime education, training and research.
