A point of difference for AMC Search is its team of specialist hydrodynamic simulation model makers. These include two Visual System Modellers that undertake all area modelling services in-house, meaning that AMC Search can incorporate changes to the area model during simulations as required. Additionally, AMC Search also has its own Ship Hydrodynamicist who can create mathematical ship models in-house. This team of experts have the capability to create hydrodynamically accurate vessel models, and to make accurate port or sea area models.
The port area models can include proposed new berths and new dredged areas, allowing for the testing of new ships in regular ports with new berths. In this manner proof of concept can be achieved before work on new berths is started. This new ship model, and the area model with the new berths can then be used for crew familiarisation training before the new berths are completed, allowing for a seamless transition to the new berths and ships.
This capability provides AMC clients with a cost-effective solution to the development of simulation models as there is no requirement for outsourcing to third parties outside of Tasmania, Australia, or overseas.
