BMT FT acquires Peter S. Hatfield

BMT Fleet Technology Ltd, a subsidiary of British Maritime Technology Ltd (BMT), has acquired Vancouver-based Peter S. Hatfield Ltd, a naval architecture and marine engineering consultancy. This follows the opening of a BMT office in Victoria on the Canadian West Coast earlier this year and a range of new contract wins in the region.

Through this deal BMT obtains an extensive portfolio of vessel designs including tugs, offshore supply vessels, patrol and scientific vessels, fireboats, ferries, fishing vessels, barges and ice-capable vessels.

The acquisition will operate under the BMT Fleet Technology name as the Hatfield Division. Gordon Passmore, who is currently Engineering Manager at Peter S. Hatfield, will lead the Hatfield office as Division Manager with Peter Hatfield retained as a Senior Consultant. The division will report to BMT Fleet Technology?s Pacific Manager, David Stocks.
