Overview:

There has been a maritime school here in Liverpool since 1892. That Liverpool Nautical College became part of Liverpool Polytechnic in 1970 and the Polytechnic became a Liverpool John Moores University in 1992. The emphasis on seagoing training has changed to Undergraduate and Post-graduate studies in the various maritime fields. Maritime Law and Business is particularly important however Navigation and Hydrographic Surveying are still important. Engineering is catered for with a BEng Mechanical and Marine Engineering degree and a MSc Marine & Offshore Enginering.

Seagoing training is provided at our Lairdside Maritime Centre

Reserach is carried out within the Maritime Studies Department Research Group. This has evolved over the last twenty years into the Marine, Offshore and Transport Research Group, enjoying an international reputation in the field of electronic chart design and computer assisted anti-collision systems. More recently, the Group has developed a strong reputation for its work in Formal Safety Assessment in Marine, Offshore and Transport Systems. The Group has completed a number of doctoral and postdoctoral research projects supported by the UK EPSRC, HSE, EU and industry.

The Group is equipped with a wide range of risk modelling and decision making software. The Group currently consists of 7 academic and 15 research members. The detailed research activities of the Group can be found in: http://www.eng.livjm.ac.uk
