BMT Announces Management Buy-Out of Dutch Subsidiary

 

David Hurdle, Managing Director of Aktis Hydraulics BV comments: “Operating as an independent company is a very exciting opportunity for us and gives us the flexibility that we need as a niche player, while maintaining good relations with BMT. The new company is owned by the technical experts working for it. We will continue to deliver expertise to our clients in the areas of: local winds, coastal wave conditions, ship response, channel depth, mooring design and the interaction of pipelines and other structures with the seabed. We are also looking forward to continued innovation and product development. In summary, our passion for our profession and delivering high quality services to our clients remains unchanged.”

 

Dr Phil Thompson, Managing Director of BMT Ship & Coastal Dynamics Ltd, says: “The synergies between BMT Ship & Coastal Dynamics Ltd and Aktis Hydraulics Bv remain strong and we will continue to work together, leveraging the niche skills from both companies to support maritime engineering projects.
