Expansion of marine technical consultancy services
BMT Marine & Offshore Surveys, a member of the BMT Group, has appointed Simon Burnay as the new director of the company’s marine consultancy support services which are available to shipowners, charterers, maritime lawyers and insurers.
Burnay is based in the company’s London office, and has transferred from a sister BMT company. He first joined BMT in 1999. A naval architect, Burnay’s areas of expertise include ship performance and efficiency, marine operations, vessel dynamics, forensic engineering and incident investigations. He has experience in a wide range of sectors across the industry, and has provided expert witness analysis and advice in a number of high-profile marine incidents.
The company describes the move as "beefing up its specialist marine technical consulting capability".
Nigel Clark, Managing Director of BMT Marine & Offshore Surveys, said today: “We have always provided marine consultancy services but now we are expanding this very specialised area of work, and where necessary we can draw on the capability within the wider BMT group. Simon and his colleagues will support our overseas regional directors, the core P&I team and the company as a whole. This is one of a number of new initiatives we are currently pursuing and there will be further news in the coming months.”
