A range of proven passenger and RoPax ferry designs
We design for a full spectrum of operational requirements, such as ultra-low wash applications, zero or low-carbon emissions, rough weather conditions or high speeds of up to 60 knots.
We design for a full spectrum of operational requirements, such as ultra-low wash applications, zero or low-carbon emissions, rough weather conditions or high speeds of up to 60 knots.
We have developed a comprehensive range of passenger-only and ROPAX ferry designs, including small water-taxi vessels and commuter ferries, open water transit vessels and ocean-going craft, all operating at various speeds.
We have expertise in developing vessels with low-wake wash, environmentally-friendly ships and recently completed a comprehensive study into the use of hybrid propulsion systems.
We have a detailed knowledge of all types of hull forms and an unmatched reputation for innovating to meet challenging technical requirements.
The two new 70m LNG-fuelled ROPAX ferries ‘Willem Barentsz’ and ‘Willem de Vlamingh’ for Dutch operator Rederij Doeksen set a new benchmark in ROPAX design.
We are working hand-in-hand with the community of the Isles of Scilly to develop future vessels that will provide essential life-line travel and freight services to the island for years to come.
We have an ever-expanding range of proven ferry designs in our portfolio, including vessels ranging from 9m to 220m in length and speeds of up to 70 knots.
We offer a wide range of design consultancy services, ensuring optimal costs and operational efficiency.
We design for superior seakeeping and improved comfort, up to 20% saving in fuel consumption for equivalent vessel payloads, novel hull forms for improved docking performance, minimum weather downtime and high payload capacity.
Our range of vessel designs is broad, and we possess vast experience in designing high-speed patrol vessels for government and security organisations. With speeds up to and beyond 50 knots, our proven strategies for patrol vessels and interceptors range from 10 to 80m.
We provide integrated logistics support across a range of engineering and technical domains to support pre and post-delivery for new or modified ships and submarines.
We are a global ship design business with over 300 vessels in service across the world.
Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) has awarded a contract to BMT to provide consultancy services for the concept design of a new passenger ferry for the Gourock, Dunoon and Kilcreggan routes. The new ferry will be designed to replace the vessels currently operated on the routes by CalMac.
BMT’s latest passenger ferry, designed for Kitsap Transit in the United States, has successfully completed sea trials and is ready to start operation in the next few weeks. The ENETAI out-performed design requirements during vessel trials, delivering to Kitsap Transit; a lighter, faster, and smoother riding vessel.
Industry insights about ferry designs at the forefront of innovation: TV interview with Sylvain Julien, Director of Naval Architecture , BMT and Greg Trauthwein of Maritime Reporter TV
Alfred, built at the Strategic Marine shipyard in Vietnam, for Pentland Ferries is the greenest ferry of its kind, using 60% less fuel than similar vessels in the area.
BMT is pleased to announce that their latest passenger ferry design, for Aran Island Ferries, successfully completed sea trials and has now been delivered. The Saoirse Na Farraige is a 40 metres medium speed monohull ferry built to a BMT design by Cheoy Lee Shipyards in China.
BMT and Strategic Marine Vietnam team up to design an innovative solution for Pentland Ferries.
Designing the first ferry of its type in the world posed some unique challenges.
A striking new hybrid ferry design, enabling greener ferry systems for the future.
BMT has introduced new vessel designs in response to a tender issued by Hong Kong’s Transport Department.
When progress in technologies provides only a marginal gain in reducing operating costs and environmental footprint, should the traditional ferry paradigm be challenged once more?
