Torres Strait is one of Australia's most important seaways in terms of shipping and defence. It forms Australia's only true international boundary. It is a shipping focal area and major seaway for Australian and foreign merchant vessels. This is the final report, in a series of four (four cruises represented in image), outlining the results of investigations into sandwave movement, currents and sedimentation in the main shipping channels of Torres Strait.
