Consultancy Services
In addition to new build design and engineering BMT Group offer a comprehensive range of consultancy services.
Owners Consultancy;
Utilising our multi disciplined experience from start to finish BMT have the practical engineering knowledge to represent the client at every stage of a project and protecting the interests of the owner.
Plan Approval;
With experience of all major classification societies and flag authorities BMT offer a complete plan approval service ensuring that projects are effectively managed through the classification process and every engineering detail is appropriately scrutinised.
Structural Analysis & Audits;
BMT's extensive skills in the design of marine structures enables us to offer a complete structural analysis, design and auditing service. From load prediction and structural analysis to fatigue assessments we have the experience to work in steel, aluminium and advanced composites.
Motion Predictions & Stabilisation Studies;
With a strong background in the design of hull forms that offer good seakeeping ability BMT have the tools and knowledge to make accurate motion predictions and assess the impact of proposed motion control systems from roll fins to stabilisation tanks and T-Foils.
Machinery Retro-Fit Feasibility Studies;
BMT have acted on behalf of a number of clients wishing to extend the capability of their existing vessel. Weather improving motions through the retro fitting of fin stabilisers or improving manoeuvrability through fitting additional thrusters we have the practical experience to ensure the correct machinery is selected and installed appropriately.
Performance Predictions & Hydrodynamic Model Testing;
Utilising our comprehensive model test database we are able to conduct performance predictions utilising proven data. Results can be further verified by algorithms developed in house whilst CFD analysis is available for optimisation studies. Additionally BMT Group offer a full range of model testing services covering resistance and propulsion, wake surveys, seakeeping and manoeuvring tests can be offered.
Weight Verification Studies & Monitoring;
From our background and experience in the design of lightweight high speed craft BMT are leaders in the design of light weight vessels. Coupled with our comprehensive database of as-built weights gives us the capability to engineer and verify minimum weight solutions.
Proof Of Concept Studies;
Working from initial concept sketches BMT have the ability to provide solid engineering foundations to any designers' idea allowing more accurate shipyard quotations and workable solutions from the early concept stage.
Factory Acceptance Trials;
Accepting ownership of complex items of equipment can be a daunting task and NGA can act on behalf of the yard, owners or suppliers to ensure that equipment meets its specification before leaving the factory.

Manoeuvring Simulations and Onboard Simulator;
BMT Group have developed the world's leading state of the art PC based ship manoeuvring simulator ‘Rembrandt' which can be utilised to assess and optimise the manoeuvring and DP characteristics of new and existing designs. Additionally the tool can be installed on board for real time manoeuvring simulation training by the yacht's crew.
Wind Tunnel Testing;
BMT Group own and operate three large wind tunnels undertaking a board spectrum of aerodynamic studies.
Sea trials;
Conducting sea trials is a critical part of any project and BMT can ensure these are conducted under the right conditions representing the interests of the yard, owner or machinery suppliers.
