We provide a detailed design service that complies with international codes, project management, design review, and value engineering.
From building jetties to prototyping new offshore communities, our expertise in designing and managing the construction of coastal structures can help you overcome the complex technical challenges of such projects.
We have extensive experience in feasibility studies for ferry and cruise terminals. Our expertise covers financial and marine feasibility, terminal layout, and ferry concept design for new developments or existing terminals. We can also assist our clients in developing short, medium, and long term masterplans to achieve the most technically viable and cost-effective solution.
We provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to aid the design of breakwaters and jetties. Our experience includes:
We have extensive experience designing various types of solutions for ports handling containers, general and Ro-Ro cargoes for quay walls and wharf structures. Our services cover:
We focus on the same skills, tools, experience, and understanding of the coastal environment for ports and terminals to inform modular floating platforms and other offshore and waterfront infrastructure.
We offer customised solutions for public, industrial and high-end infrastructure to address land scarcity and specific project requirements. Our services range from feasibility study, concept & detailed design, construction supervision and testing & commissioning. Our experienced team of naval architects use industry standard tools to deliver engineering designs including structural design, stability analysis and mooring analysis.
Industrial and logistics parks play a pivotal role in global manufacturing and trade. We offer planning support catered to the customer needs - from strategic positioning, identification of target industries, cargo hinterland competitiveness and value chain analysis to sector demand for industrial land area, master planning, zoning and product mix solutions. We identify, create and optimise business models and investment plans for industrial parks, logistics and free zones, as well as defining marketing and commercial strategies to achieve an integrated port, park and trade infrastructure development.
We regularly provide project management for marine facilities, including some of the world’s most significant port projects and cover the entire lifecycle of a project from a concept from concept to commissioning.
Our services encompass contractor choice, construction methodology, site supervision, programming, planning, contract management and quality control. In addition, we can develop a project management service to cover the entire lifecycle of a project, from concept to commissioning.
Our experience includes:
"What we like most about BMT is their understanding of our needs, their flexibility, and the high quality of the results they deliver. I look forward to working with BMT again soon."

We study the external and internal risk factors of marine facilities as well as consequences. We review navigation, search and rescue problems, the port marine safety code, and assessing and auditing safety management systems.
We examine the project issues and risks and advise on the most appropriate ways of mitigating them. We look at what impact a project’s vulnerability and risk may have on businesses or countries and advise on the most appropriate ways of mitigating that risk.
We use our cartography and drafting capabilities to think quantitatively and make better decisions based on data and analysis.
TUFLOW has have become an industry standard for modelling coastal environments, enabling you to gain greater predictability, certainty and confidence.
Our experience in using practical tools and methodologies to manage risk helps you verify and optimise design early on when costs are still manageable.
Designing and analysing mooring systems is an essential part of coastal infrastructure planning. We have extensive experience in this area and evaluating ship-to-ship and ship-to-structure operations.
Assessing the risks to a coastline posed by hazards such as erosion and inundation is an essential first step for any proactive coastal authority looking to identify the long-term impacts of ongoing coastal processes, increasing pressure from development and amenity access, together with climate change impacts.
By providing investment and planning support throughout the initial stages of infrastructure development, we help you build future growth on solid foundations.
Establishing new port channels and basins and managing sediment build-up can present a major obstacle to ports and boat harbours.
Our understanding of the metocean processes and conditions that influence the design and operation of marine infrastructure is based on extensive experience in the industry.
We use in-house historical metocean databases, numerical modelling, and analysis to inform the criteria for operations, preliminary design, front end engineering design, mooring layout design and breakwater and terminal design, including coastal erosion modelling and coastline evolution under the influence of shoreline recession and sea-level rise.
IAPH is a non-governmental organization (NGO) aiming to be the global trade association of choice for port authorities and operators, representing their interests at a regulatory level at the International Maritime Organization, the World Customs Organization, the International Standards Organization and other global alliances such as the Global Maritime Forum and the World Economic Forum.
Driving environmental value and risk-informed decision making will ensure that maintenance dredging continues into the future to sustain the Port’s and Ocean’s critical depths.
BMT consolidates offices to create a strategic Gateway in Asia, delivering value to existing customers and opening the door to new ventures and partnerships.
Building a port is a tough, expensive business, which can see investors struggle to hit the return on their investment. However, the latest generation of simulators is here to help.
The bustling city of Mumbai is the financial hub of India. The ever-increasing traffic resulted in the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) proposal – one of India’s landmark national infrastructure projects.
The planned mega terminal expansion is intended to reduce congestion and support higher demand for container yard space.
The Port of Ashburton was built to help export liquefied natural gas from Onslow, Western Australia. The coastline in the region is highly dynamic, resulting in the sand building up on beaches west of the port while beaches to the east were being eroded.
International shipping often requires that valuable goods be moved from one ship to another. Not every port is adequately equipped to handle the process, especially where petroleum-based liquid cargos such as crude oil or liquefied gas is involved.
The integration of autonomous maritime systems into the naval and commercial sectors is accelerating, driven by AI, distributed sensor networks, and long-duration autonomous platforms.
