Unloading Chinese Container ship at HHLA Burchardkai terminal, Hamburg
BMT Transport Solutions has a clear focus on the transport industry. In this context we advise investors, ports & terminals, policy makers, and transport operators.
This distinction is of course not absolute - for example, shipping lines sometimes become investors (in ports, for example), while investors can become port operators.

Building on the expertise of the core team and a network of experts within the BMT Group of companies, BMT Transport Solutions offers a range of services which can be tailored to specific requirements. All services are based on an intimate understanding of the market, the operational aspects of the transport business and port planning, and the related engineering, regulatory, environmental and business issues.

Our services often span our customers' entire business development process: from the provision of market intelligence leading to the identification of promising projects (e.g. a terminal expansion) or investment targets (e.g. a port, terminal or transport operator). This in turn can lead to project appraisals or due diligence services (commercial, financial, technical and environmental DD) and, for instance after a successful acquisition, to post-acquisition strategic and operational advice.

Below is a typical selection of customer questions BMT helps answering

  • What is the market potential and likely return on investment of a port or terminal?
  • How can we create an efficient and robust supply chain for our new bio-fuel plant?
  • What is the freight potential, ship size and best frequency for a planned ferry route?
  • What is the right development strategy for our port?
