Marine Facilities and Port Masterplanning

BMT has a strong reputation for delivering long, medium and short-term masterplans.

Our strategic ports and terminals capbilities aids customers in the sustainable growth and development of their business.

A comprehensive port or marine facilities masterplan sets the overall direction for infrastructure development, with consideration of the trade forecasts, growth of various commodities, competition present in the market and future infrastructure developments.

BMT’s masterplanning experience can assist customers in assessing market, commercial and financial conditions of marine facilities. We develop site-specific expansion or renewal options to cater for forecast port throughput; we also help customers select the most suitable locations for their projects and provide layouts and plans for both new developments and reconfiguring existing ports. Our capabilities include:

  • Demand & supply analysis
  • Competitiveness analysis
  • Port cargo forecasts
  • Financial & risk assessment
  • Pricing strategies
  • Business planning
  • Corporate strategies

Site Selection Studies

Site selection is undertaken at an early stage in the planning process and forms an important element in the business case for the investor. Some or all of the following matters may need consideration.

  • Logistics and economics
  • Land and geotechnical aspects
  • Environmental impact
  • Marine accessibility and traffic
  • Metocean climate
  • Risk assessment (Natural & Operational / Deliberate acts)

Initial studies for site selection may be of a more qualitative nature leading to a deeper assessment of the selected site or short listed candidates.

Dredging Support

Additionally, BMT specialises in planning, designing and project managing all capital and maintenance dredging works. This includes obtaining the required approvals and dredging licences.

Our experts assist with berthing and downtime assessments, reclamation and ground improvement work, project management of multi-disciplinary maritime development projects and detailed designs for rock armoured breakwaters, groynes and seawalls.
