About Us
BMT Defence Services is Europe's leading independent centre of excellence in naval design and engineering. Its track record in designing new and supporting existing warships, submarines and auxiliary vessels has been growing consistently since it was incorporated in 1988.
The authority and credibility of its design advice is determined by the experience, qualifications and quality of its employees and by the continued independence of its parent company from defence system and equipment manufacturing interests.
BMT Defence Services employs over 200 people at offices in Bath, Bristol, Fareham, Keynsham and Weymouth. 
The company has supported almost every UK naval programme since 1988 and is one of the few external organisations to be named by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) as a Delegated Naval Authority.
Our customers in the UK and EU, Canada, Australasia and elsewhere value our:
-
impartial advice, helping them to obtain maximum performance and value.
-
in-depth experience from in-service support.
-
broad technical expertise, backed by targeted research and development investment (twice the UK average).
-

-

Our customers welcome our innovative, workable solutions. Whether it's design change management and engineering support for existing platforms or whole warship design of new platforms, we judge the mix of technologies and knowledge best suited to meeting each customer's exact and individual needs and budget.
