BMT has received a contract to support the Royal Thai Navy’s (RTN) new Midget submarine programme, the company announced on 17 October.

Under the contract, BMT will recommend submarine-specific engineering management best practices to help the RTN minimise risk during the design phase. The task is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

According to the company, this is the first government defence contract won by BMT in Thailand.

Cpt Sattaya Chandraprabha, project manager of the RTN, said: ‘The RTN is delighted to have appointed BMT to support this initial step in the design phase. We are confident that with BMT’s advice we will be able to put the necessary plans and processes in place to establish a solid foundation for this challenging but exciting project.’
