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
from the principal
AMC ontrack oran excitinguture

He comes
rom a varied
background using Autonomous
Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to
explore problems in environmental
fuid mechanics and aquatic

Specically he uses innovative
engineering techniques to conduct
novel science experiments in
challenging environments. His
work has taken him to the polar
regions exploring a variety o orms
o ice including lake-ice, sea-ice,
glacial ice tongues and icebergs.
Several o the lessons learnt have
bridged into other disciplines
such as benthic habitat mapping,
seafoor surveying to as ar aeld as
space exploration.
His current research interest is
the use o AUVs as data collection
platorms or examining water
column hydrodynamics and
benthic habitat mapping
(using both image and acoustic
techniques).
Dr Forrest holds a Doctorate in
Civil Engineering (Environmental
Fluid Mechanics University o
British Columbia), M. A.Sc. in Civil
