Direction o seaarer trainingthe ocus o industry meeting

How should AMC engage

closely and meaningully with its

industry and research stakeholders?

How should we maximise

the opportunities within the

University o Tasmania in building

a more eective and successul

relationship? How should we build

on our worldwide reputation? These

are just some o the key questions

we ace as we work towards AMCs

vision: maritime excellence; industry

connected; pioneering solutions.

At school I wondered about

going to sea and probably would

have done i not prevented by a

propensity to sea sickness and

by my sight which meant I could

not, at the time, be a deck ocer.

I eventually chose maritime

engineering because I wanted to

design and build things, especially

small crat, and I have been a

partner in a boatyard building

and repairing boats. I have

worked on numerous research

projects with industry partners

and published extensively rom

this work. I am an acknowledged

world expert in marine propulsion

who has questioned and provided

alternatives or ship powering

perormance prediction.

I see abundant opportunities

or AMC to take the lead in the

development o seaarer training,

at both a national and internationallevel. Similarly, we deliver specialist

maritime engineering and maritime

business courses and there is an

opportunity or us to play a wider

role in the design o this education,

and to be a leading research

institute in all o these elds.

Pockets o AMCs courses

and research are unique at an

international level. We send

undergraduates to sea or

signicant periods as part o

their maritime engineering and

marine conservation degrees.

Few undergraduate maritime

engineering courses provide access

to hydrodynamic testing tanks.

There are major opportunities open

in developing leading-edge studies

into problems o key relevance to

our industry stakeholders. I hear

these issues raised, and I have been

asked how AMC can assist.

So how are we going to achieve

this change in outlook and

activity? Well, we started two to

three years ago by increasing the

number o research higher degree

scholarships such that our student

body has doubled in this period

and is continuing to grow. With

industry partners, we have students

working on atigue o mariners,communication errors in maritime

English, ocean renewable energy,

maritime law, propulsion o high-

speed erries, aquatic sh health

and much more.

Through academic sta renewal

initiatives at the University, AMC will

search nationally and internationally

or at least six senior academic

sta over 2013-14. Their role will

be to lead reorm in curriculum

or training and education and to

mentor strong research growth

in areas o relevance to AMCs

industry stakeholders. The rst o

these joined in February and the

second is expected to join later this

year. Two will be the new Directors

o the National Centre or Ports

and Shipping and the National

Centre or Maritime Engineering

and Hydrodynamics. Several will

be qualied in a relevant seaaring

discipline.

It is an exciting uture and one on

which I plan to update you through

these columns as our plans unold.

I am looking orward to working

with you and would be very happy

to answer any questions you might

have, best routed through email to

me: [email protected]
