MTPC - Maritime Transport Policy Centre

Australia is among the top ten countries generating demand for sea transport

The Maritime Transport Policy Centre (MTPC) researches critical industry-led questions and, from its research outcomes, provides advice to government and others on policy formation. It draws on the wide range of expertise across the AMC, the broader University, and the maritime community in general.

The Centre fills an identified niche in the research market, meeting a need identified by the Maritime Transport Industry Forum held at the Australian Maritime College in 2007. As a result of this forum, the Centre has been established to act as a national think tank and to develop policies and advise governments, both federal and state.
