Our designs combine speed with seakeeping and crew comfort. With speeds from 25 to 50 knots, our proven designs for high-speed patrol boats and theater support vessels range from 10 to 80m. The hullforms used for our Seafighter hybrid Semi-SWATH and Hercules 150 designs provide exceptional seakeeping to deliver improved motions and crew comfort.
Speed, seakeeping and crew comfort also define our advanced high-speed landing craft designs. Our MSV (L) design and recently contracted US Army MSV(L) are based on our innovative Caimen hullform.
BMT is able to offer a comprehensive platform design service. We are known for our naval architecture heritage and have been involved in the design of numerous types of naval vessel including the new RN Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, the Type 26 Frigate through the Naval Design Partnering arrangement and of course the Aegir® family of replenishment vessels, of which the UK MARS tankers are an example. We are also involved submarine design, both conventional and nuclear powered.
