Class Level Design
Class level design involves the development of all major documentation required for approval
by the nominated Classification Society and Flag State. By bringing together engineering from
all disciplines under a single roof, BMT has successfully delivered Class approved designs for
vessels from 9m to 220m in length, covering speed ranges from 12 to 60 knots.

Having worked with all the major
Classification Societies BMT brings
significant depth of knowledge in
achieving full Class approval in the most
efficient and effective manner. With
each Society having its own particular
nuances, BMT has the insight required to
engage Class in educated discussions
at the appropriate junctions to ensure
that designs are developed efficiently
but not over engineered. Where designs
do not fit within existing regulatory
frameworks we work closely with Class
and Flag to agree compliance based on
equivalent levels of safety.
The above capability, linked with our
experience in pre-contract design allows
us to offer single source engineering for
development of all naval architecture,
structural, mechanical and outfit aspects
to meet the most demanding rule
requirements. Where appropriate we
integrate a high level of production-ready
detailing into our Class level designs,
thereby enabling rapid progression into
production engineering and saving the
shipyard valuable time and cost.

BMT produces high quality Class
level drawing packages and vessel
specifications which can be used
for vessel cost estimation, contract
discussions or further detail design
development by the shipyard.
