It is anticipated that the enhanced research infrastructure and synergies created
through new collaborations will be key drivers in the pursuit of world-class maritime
hydrodynamic research and development outcomes and growth in intellectual capital for the
benefit of Australia.
More specifically, AMHRC is expected to deliver research
outcomes of scientific significance including:
The development of a strong pool of intellectual capital within Australia that is
focussed on maritime hydrodynamics that is capable of solving research problems
currently sent offshore;
Enhanced safety and performance of the surface and underwater technology industry
and defence applications, encompassing naval platforms, commercial vessels, remotely
operated vehicles, aquaculture structures and fishing gear;
Enhanced safety and economic efficiencies for Australian and overseas port
authorities and pilotage organisations through increased realism in modelled port areas
and navigation channels.
