Consultancy Services

AMC Search Consultancy services are operating as normal. We are still delivering consultancy services in maritime simulations, offshore and coastal engineering, hydrodynamics testing, cavitation testing, ship and port operations, environmental seabed mapping and marine energy systems.

However, AMC Search is like no other maritime consultancy service. We are acutely focused on client services, have access to a talented pool of maritime specialists and world-class engineering facilities plus we operate as a not-for-profit entity.

Each dollar we make above operating costs is reinvested back into the Australian Maritime College to support investments in world-class maritime education, training and research.

That reinvestment model is core to our philosophy and why over the last 30 years of consulting, we have been able to deliver high-value for money professional outcomes for over 300 maritime organizations and have invested millions of dollars in state-of-the-art consulting equipment and facilities.
