After more than 18 months in the making Australia’s latest hi-tech maritime training facility is officially open for business. The Centre for Maritime Simulation at the Australian Maritime College (AMC) opened on July 2 in a special ceremony that featured a host of national maritime industry figures and dignitaries. The US$5.5 million centre was officially opened by Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese.
“This college plays a critical role in producing some of the best seafarers in the world and equipping our national maritime industry for the challenges ahead,” Mr Albanese said. “The simulation work that has been conducted at the AMC over the past 24 years is of national significance.”
The Centre for Maritime Simulations includes a 270-degree full mission main bridge, a 200degree tug boat bridge and six part task bridges.
