BMT experience for LR committee

Dr Phil Thompson, BMT Group sector director for transport, and Muir Macdonald RCNC, managing director of BMT Defence Services, will join the influential body that was formed over 100 years ago and advises on standards for the maritime industry.

Thompson commented: “The role of Lloyd’s Register’s technical committee is key to addressing the complex challenges currently faced by the maritime industry. I hope to add further value to the committee by providing access to the wealth of knowledge and experience that BMT has developed through its extensive maritime operations across the globe.”

Macdonald went on to say: “With the need to exploit the sea in an ever more safe, environmentally responsible yet economic way, it’s an exciting time to bring BMT’s innovative insight and uniquely impartial perspective to this eminent committee’s work.”
