Marine Risk Management

Planning Marine Operations

BMT provides services to support vessel selection, plan vessel routing, design channel layouts in ports and inland waterways and plan passage through locks. We specialise in assessing the navigation of vessels operating in restricted waterways or in close proximity to other vessels in both expected and worst case weather and tide conditions using real- and fast-time vessel simulation.

De-risking Marine Operations

BMT helps to de-risk marine operations from mobilisation to demobilisation. We identify what can go wrong, and review the proposed risk controls to develop comprehensive emergency/contingency plans and identify any additional specific mitigations that are required. We can quantify the risk using our offshore windfarm models that simulate the proposed operations to assess likely variability in overall duration and cost, predict losses and show the sensitivity to programme delays, equipment failure and weather.

Safety Management

Safety in offshore projects is paramount. Risks need to be identified, assessed, controlled and mitigated within the structure of robust and defensible safety management systems. BMT has developed safety management systems across a wide range of marine industries.

Safety Assessment

BMT has extensive experience in safety assessment including hazard identification, hazard and operability studies, safety critical system assessment, writing safety procedures and developing justifications and cases.
