BMT Dutch subsidiary completes MBO
The Dutch subsidiary of BMT Ship & Coastal Dynamics Ltd will operate as Aktis Hydraulics BV following a management buyout (MBO).
The team at Aktis will continue to provide specialised services for BMT.
David Hurdle, managing director of Aktis Hydraulics, commented: “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.”
He added Aktis would continue to develop new products and deliver services 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.
Dr Phil Thompson, managing director of BMT Ship & Coastal Dynamics, added Aktis would continue to focus on its REMBRANDT navigation simulator and SARIS search and rescue system.
