Australian Maritime Logistics Research Network

The Australian Maritime Logistics Research (AMLR) Network brings together academics from RMIT and other universities in Australia, as well as industry professionals in the field of maritime logistics, to create a synergised approach to key issues affecting trade and the economy.

Australia relies heavily on the vibrancy of its maritime industry, i.e. shipping, port, and supporting sectors. The AMLR Network works collaboratively on maritime logistics research, facilitating improved networking and knowledge sharing between academics and industry, in a synchronised effort to optimise outcomes in Australia.

The AMLR Network focuses on the following:

  • Applications for national and international research grants
  • Development of a team with comprehensive knowledge and experience for advocacy and advice to government dealing with maritime logistics policy issues
  • High-impact joint research publications
  • Joint HDR supervision
  • Consultancy
