BMT, Ares to Deliver Patrol Boats for Bahrain Coast Guard

BMT Nigel Gee (BMT), a subsidiary of BMT Group, has announced its latest partnership with Ares Shipyard to design and build six 18m patrol boats from advanced composites, for the Bahrain Coast Guard which have a maximum design speed in excess of 35 knots. The contract also has an option for an additional six vessels.

Undertaking the full detailed design including hull form optimization, structural design and machinery layout, BMT’s team of naval architects has worked closely with the shipyard to develop a design which meets the customer’s explicit desire to maximize living space below decks, as well as create an operationally effective vessel. 

Sea trials are expected to take place at the end of September 2013.
