We offer our customers total port solutions. Because we’ve been planning, designing and driving some of the most demanding projects for over 100 years, our experience is hard to beat.

Our multi-disciplinary base is so wide you can call on us for any maritime service – from business case planning or consequence management to risk assessment and environmental management.

Our dedicated in-house maritime group incorporates leading specialists with an established track record in port planning, maritime economics, financial and economic analysis as well as port and terminal design. In addition, our strength in all other transport modes plus urban planning and environmental impact mitigation gives us the advantage of being able to provide an all embracing intermodal service.

Our extensive global portfolio of maritime projects covers break bulk and containerised cargo facilities, ro-ro terminals, bulk cargo ports and tanker berths.

We’re fully equipped to meet the ever increasing demands of port and terminal development, with skills encompassing strategic port studies, terminal planning, hydraulic studies, numerical and physical modelling, ship simulation studies, infrastructure design, construction supervision, transport economics and privately financed projects.

Our project portfolio ranges from master planning a World Bank funded scheme for Bangladesh’s ports system to designing a new 150,000dwt oil transhipment terminal at Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, and serving as lenders’ engineer for a new container handling facility in Hong Kong.
Following the latest surge of growth in the cruise ship industry, we are also helping port operators develop terminals that allow for varied itineraries, more optional flexibility and larger vessels.
