AMC has world-class training and research facilities, which include our fleet of vessels, aquaculture centre, maritime simulations centre and the Australian Maritime Hydrodynamics Research Centre.

Marine studies research is supported by a number of specialist laboratories, dedicated to nutrition, fish health, molecular biology, endocrine studies, marine biosecurity and seafood processing and handling.

AMC also has an outstanding suite of maritime engineering facilities, which compare favourably with those of any other university worldwide. These include a towing tank, model test basin, circulating water channel, cavitation research laboratory and a marine engine laboratory.

Underpinning research into the broad range of factors that affect port and vessel management are a suite of simulation facilities, training vessels and engineering workshops (see details).
