AMC is a centre of excellence for maritime and marine research. Our research is closely aligned with the current and future needs of industry, Government and Defence society to achieve a sustainable future.
As Australia’s national maritime centre, AMC has the most advanced maritime research facilities in the Southern Hemisphere supported and operated by highly capable, innovative nd passionate researchers in disciplines such as maritime engineering and hydrodynamics, ocean and coastal maritime operations, and maritime transport and logistics. This creates an exceptional environment for facilitating both research and research-informed teaching in diverse areas such as maritime renewable energy, naval architecture, fluid dynamics, offshore engineering, human centred design, sustainable ports and underwater robotics.
Our research expertise and facilities, as well as our network of collaborations with industry partners and international universities, make AMC the ideal place for research that benefits the maritime environment.
Our research themes
We have three cross-disciplinary research themes that cut across traditional scientific and engineering and managerial boundaries to address challenges that encompass the entire maritime domain from onshore to offshore maritime operations.
