BMT Group Ltd, the U.K.-based maritime design, engineering and risk management consultancy, plans to buy Oceanica Consulting Ltd. for an undisclosed amount.
Oceanica will strengthen BMT’s capacity and technical offering in Western Australia’s buoyant market, while complementing the expertise and knowledge in the region of BMT’s established Asia-Pacific subsidiaries, including BMT WBM and BMT JFA Consultants.
Established in 2000, Oceanica has provided specialist consultancy services for marine, coastal and estuarine environmental issues, working with corporate and government clients throughout Western Australia.
Karen Hillman, director at Oceanica, said, “Our clients will take comfort in the fact Oceanica is now part of a highly resilient organisation which shares Oceanica’s values and approach to business, while increasing the level of service and resourcing we can offer.”
BMT chief executive Peter French said, “The western seaboard of Australia continues to present strong opportunities for growth in the maritime, oil and gas and mining sectors. Oceanica’s expertise and excellent reputation for providing high-quality, impartial advice and services to support the effective management and protection of marine and coastal environments, further complements BMT’s capabilities and we are very much looking forward to welcoming the team.”
