Design management advisory
We have unrivalled understanding and knowledge to help you navigate and interpret the complexities of the transition from design and build contractor to end-user ownership.

As part of the delivery process, the evidence must be available to support decisions and ensure the performance requirements are correct. We can provide a full suite of test form production and gap analyses which ensure any builds are fit for purpose. In addition, we can help you identify the training needs.
To accept or not? The sheer complexity of an underwater platform, the number of stakeholders involved, tight timeframes, challenging cost and performance constraints: can all undermine your confidence in accepting a new capability.
To help you fully understand and mitigate the risks, we have used our experience of defence acquisition projects to develop critical techniques to give you the confidence you have fully understood and mitigated any risks.
As well as our depth of expertise on naval platforms and knowledge gained over numerous acceptance projects, our independence from external shareholders or manufacturing interests sees us well placed to provide impartial guidance.
Our process sees us work to identify all stakeholders in accepting a system, the critical evidence required to base decisions, the standard to be applied and the risks that may impact the programme, its cost, quality and capability. We translate this understanding into an acceptance strategy and a robust Integrated Test Evaluation and Acceptance Plan (ITEAP), which flags potential acceptance risk early.
Acceptance is not just a technical activity; it is about communication and interaction too. We provide maximum engagement with all stakeholders throughout a project, helping to manage expectations and reduce acceptance risk.
Pressure to deliver operational availability applies whether accepting a new asset or supporting changes to requirements or user needs. We bring a detailed understanding of performance characteristics, together with tailored and effective data collection and analysis tools, to manage the time and cost involved in acceptance.
We develop and implement the processes and services you need to measure the performance of your asset against its requirement and specification, whether that asset is a platform, a system, a service or a product:
We offer a wide range of design consultancy services, ensuring optimal costs and operational efficiency.
Engineering policy covers a complex range of constantly evolving regulatory and advisory frameworks: from requirements, regulations and specifications to standards and guidance.
Whatever the challenge, we bring a wealth of experience to every naval architecture project along with the resources to create marine designs that are practical, efficient, and effective.
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.
An all-new concept developed in collaboration between T. Fotiadis Design & Lateral Naval Architects. With its striking streamline design, Spear combines efficiency, comfort, and expansive open spaces to create an unparalleled cruising experience.
In collaboration with Penguin Shipyard International, the BMT design iteration, called “MFV-R”, is an optimal ship design created to offer a second-generation external firefighting capability that goes ‘above and beyond’ standard FiFi Class 1 requirements.
The Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) has welcomed Catriona Savage, our Technical Assurance and Capability Director, as the new President of the institution
The life extension programme provided by BMT ensures MV Africa Mercy can continue to provide life-changing surgeries to children and adults who otherwise would go without.
On Monday, 13 June 2022, BMT’s Gordon MacDonald was presented with an Order of Australia Medal (OAM). An honour that recognises Australians for outstanding achievement and service.
The Western Joint Branch Junior Design Challenge is an annual contest run for associate members of both RINA and IMarEST. The design competition aims to challenge pre-chartership level engineers to develop a design solution to an ongoing issue in the maritime industry.
Through simulation-based numerical methods ship designers can perform complex analyses more rapidly and at a reduced cost. Johnathan Green explains how the successful application of numerical modelling has helped to de-risk and expedite delivery of new BMT landing craft designs.
