AMSA Chief Executive Officer Mick Kinley emphasized the importance of having skilled professionals in maritime policy to support the growth and development of Australia’s maritime industry, as well as AMSA’s role as its safety regulator.
“Both domestic and international policies shape how the maritime industry operates and is regulated,” Mr. Kinley said. “Our Academic Excellence Scholarship is one way we ensure a continuous supply of skilled and knowledgeable professionals in this vital area.”
Distinguished Professor Stuart Kaye, Director of the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) at the University of Wollongong, expressed the university’s appreciation for AMSA’s support and the enduring partnership with the maritime regulator.
“We value our strong relationship with AMSA and are grateful for the financial assistance that allows our students to critically engage with and explore the factors influencing the development of maritime law and policy,” Professor Kaye said.
