We consult with port and terminal operators and maritime civil engineering contractors to provide accurate simulations and help plan new marine terminals or extend existing facilities.
We understand the disruption caused to port and harbour operations during capital investment projects. We have worked with various stakeholder groups to find suitable design thresholds, limit construction costs, and reduce operating capacity.
We can provide accurate simulations for port design and operations, and we can model new vessels and ports to help you evaluate your requirements and determine your optimum specifications.
We use REMBRANDT to investigate complex piloting and manoeuvring procedures in a simulated environment to help improve marine pilot decision-making, reduce risk and enhance maritime operations. We can assist you in undertaking maritime simulation studies to develop new ports through manoeuvring large vessels in restricted channels.
Reducing risk is vital for new developments or reviewing existing operations. That’s why we’ve worked hard to build a market-leading reputation for fluid dynamics accuracy and flexibility that helps:
We help port authorities develop safe operating procedures by identifying, assessing and focusing on risk mitigation in a safe and controlled environment.
Advanced 5-bridge training platform for tug, offshore and ship pilotage with precision ship hydrodynamic and port hydraulic engines
REMBRANDT has been developed over 30 years, working extensively with commercial ship operators, ports and terminal operators, pilots and statutory accident investigation bodies. Working in close collaboration with the US NTSB and MAIB, REMBRANDT enables rapid 3D VDR and AIS data visual reconstruction and playback. Added to this functionality, is a unique capability to implement “pause & take control”, switching from a passive reconstruction to a fully interactive simulation. This permits “what-if” scenarios as an integral part of implementing a Lessons Learned culture.
Ian McRobbie, our Programme Manager for Ports and Maritime Infrastructure, was interviewed by Port & Harbors to discuss how infrastructure companies are collaborating with ports to enhance port infrastructure and operations.
Brad Saunders, our Senior Principal Engineer & Technical Lead for APAC, Coastal & Maritime Engineering, sets out how for small ports a modern approach to asset valuation is appropriate and holds considerable potential to uncover hidden value.
Safety is key. It is generally accepted that safety for MASS must be as good as, or better than, human driven systems. So, a key element of assuring MASS is providing evidence it can navigate safely and in compliance with the International Regulations on Prevention of Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) without a human onboard.
Supply chain issues, post-pandemic delays and a lack of stacking space are typical challenges for a shipping line in today’s busy world. Our Managing Director of Surveys and his team provide detailed insight into distressed cargo management operations and how to extract value and upside in the face of a serious shipping incident.
The growing size and number of vessels in the global cruise fleet requires the industry to set new standards for navigation technology to ensure it meet the highest standards of safety.
Dr Phil Thompson explains maritime synthetic environment modelling and how he has helped develop it into an award-winning system.
Phil Thompson, Director, Simulation & Training Products, Critical Infrastructure, explains how software helps to ensure safe navigation in congested water spaces.
BMT’s expanded multi-bridge UK facilities secure DNV Class A approval and marks a milestone for ‘Version 7’ of BMT REMBRANDT navigational software.
BMT today announced that it has been awarded a Hydrodynamic Marine Simulator Training contract by the Ministry Of Defence to deliver new, optimal levels of safety, operational efficiency, readiness, and an advanced 5-bridge training platform capability in customised navigation training for the Admiralty Pilots and Tug Masters of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers (QECC) in Portsmouth.
BMT's advanced 5-bridge training platform for Tugs and Ship Pilotage is launched and is already set to support multi-year training programmes with its state-of-art training facility.
BMT will deliver its first REMBRANDT® DNV Class A, B and C Full Mission Bridge Simulator at a Maritime Academy in Sabah, following a successful roll out of the technology to numerous academies across the Indonesian market.
In cutting-edge trials BMT conducts its first-ever remote, simulator-based ship navigation training programme – the latest REMBRANDT digital configuration is a full mission DNV approved ship simulator solution that’s targeted at multiple training stakeholders, including those onboard and ashore, and benefits from de-risked and highly immersive learning environments.
REMBRANDT, BMT’s industry-leading integrated navigation and manoeuvring simulator suite, has been awarded Class A, B and C certification from DNV GL.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has adopted BMT’s REMBRANDT for Accident Investigation.
